If you have to block out your calendar for your period every month — your body is telling you something important.
Â
And that something is not: this is just how you are.
Â
➡️Need painkillers just to get through the first day - can be elevated inflammatory prostaglandins
Â
➡️Changing pads/tampons hourly - oestrogen dominance. Excess oestrogen thickens the uterine lining. More lining = heavier shedding.
Â
➡️mood swings making you not recognise your self - a sharp progesterone drop , high oestrogen combined with serotonin decline. Progesterone has a calming, GABA-like effect on the brain. When it drops too sharply — PMS, rage, anxiety. This is biology, not a character flaw.
Â
➡️pre period bloating making your wardrobe choices difficult.-progesterone’s effect on gut motility (slowing your bowel) combined with oestrogen-driven fluid retention. Your gut physically slows in the second half of your cycle.
Â
➡️period so unpredictable you can’t plan anything - possible PMOS/PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, or hypothalamic suppression from chronic undereating or stress. Irregular cycles are your hormones communicating loudly.
Â
None of these are things you simply have to manage. They have root causes. Root causes have solutions.visit my website to view my hormone fixing packages

Save this and share it with someone who’s been told her period pain is normal.
