🚺Heavy menstrual bleeding, 🚺period bloating, 🚺lower back pain, 🚺hormonal acne and 🚺irrational irritability
In my 20s, this was me. Every month. Or maybe every 40-45 days, because my period wasn’t regular. But I knew it was coming! Because I turned into a hormone monster in the 4-5 days before it showed up.
I would get extreme cravings for chocolate, and insane hunger for the week before, accompanied by some nice cystic acne around my chin and jaw.
Then I would start bleeding, and not be comfortable leaving the house for the first 48 hours because it was so heavy and my cramps were pretty spectacular.
Now that I’m in my mid 30s, I can predict when my period is due because it’s been 30 days, not because my PMS tells me. Sometimes it can make an appearance without any symptoms and it’s a surprise!
This has taken plenty of education, supplements, diet and lifestyle changes. But I’m finally at a place where I feel in control and happy with my period.
And now I’m on a mission to help other women in pre-peri, peri and post menopause feel the same way - in control and supported in their hormone journey - without guilt, judgement or pressure.
