3. Feeling off balance
Do you become extra clumsy around your cycle? Doctors can’t confirm why this happens, but one belief is that the increased estrogen levels trigger the liver to produce hormones that could lead to fluid retention in the brain and body. This could make it hard to balance.
4. Hands and feet may look bigger
Stomach bloating is a super common period symptom, but swelling can also happen in your hands and feet. Your body retains more water during your cycle, which leads to swelling.
5. Sleepless nights
Tossing and turning a lot lately for no apparent reason? Your period could be to blame. What happens is that your progesterone levels tend to dip when you’re on your period. The result? Insomnia. Ahhh, the joys of womanhood!
Period symptoms vary from woman to woman, but If you notice that your symptoms are worsening, consider seeing your doctor to get tested for Endometriosis.
