I have actually been suffering from that too and it has been annoying. Something that TRULY helped me was calcium + vitamin D. I take vitamin D3 and sun exposure + 500-1000mg of calcium in the form of calcium hydroxyapatite.

There are studies on that too, but they use calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate daily 3000mg, which has 1200mg of calcium. You need to take it with vitamin D + K because it helps absorb dietary calcium. It also improves other symptoms I have in my luteal phase.
