Answer 1

Usually you feel a little drained before hand. You could also break out in pimples right before, crave certain foods, bloat a little when you eat too much salt or consume too many caffeine drinks. It is different for everyone.

Answer 2

Some girls may notice physical or emotional changes around the time of their periods. Menstrual cramps are pretty common — in fact, more than half of all women who menstruate say they have cramps during the first few days of their periods. Doctors think that cramps are caused by prostaglandin, a chemical that causes the muscles of the uterus to contract.

Depending on the girl, menstrual cramps can be dull and achy or sharp and intense, and they can sometimes be felt in the back as well as the abdomen. These cramps often become less uncomfortable and sometimes even disappear completely as a girl gets older.

Many girls and women find that over-the-counter pain medications (like acetaminophen or ibuprofen) can relieve cramps, as can taking a warm bath or applying a warm heating pad to the lower abdomen. Exercising regularly throughout the monthly cycle may help lessen cramps, too. If these things don't help, ask your doctor for advice.

Some girls and women find that they feel sad or easily irritated during the few days or week before their periods. Others may get angry more quickly than normal or cry more than usual. Some girls crave certain foods. These types of emotional changes may be the result of premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

PMS is related to changes in the body's hormones. As hormone levels rise and fall during a woman's menstrual cycle, they can affect the way she feels, both emotionally and physically. Some girls, in addition to feeling more intense emotions than they usually do, notice physical changes along with their periods — some feel bloated or puffy because of water retention, others notice swollen and sore breasts, and some get headaches.

PMS usually goes away soon after a period begins, but it can come back month after month. Eating right, getting enough sleep, and exercising may help relieve some of the symptoms of PMS. Talk to your doctor if you are concerned about your premenstrual symptoms.

It's also not uncommon for girls to have an acne flare-up during certain times of their cycle; again, this is due to hormones. Fortunately, the pimples associated with periods tend to become less of a problem as girls get older.

Answer 4

2 weeks or so before I get dischrge (sorry lads if you're readin this, but it's human) I end up a bit more moody and temperamental the day before too. Bu there's no definite way of telling when, you just have to plan your 28 days. If you're not sure, then carry a spare sanitary towel around with you, and maybe wear a panty-liner.

Answer 5

If your period is regular then it should come every 26-28 days...mark on a calendar when you started and then count ahead to get an idea of when it will come again. Before I start I usually get mild cramps and I feel tired and bloated

Answer 6

The night before my periods i usually cry & have an emotional breakdown! I go from angry to really depressed & then just get paranoid about things. But then the day before i crave sex alot! So i think hormones are just all over the place!

Answer 7

I get quite moody (I shouted at a teacher and got sent home) and then I get early pains (my mom thought I was dying and we went to the emergency room! It turned out just to be period pains! lol) .

oh and also I get tired, then really full of energy right before I start, then when I start I am so tired and feel really weak.

Answer 8

Oh gees.Before they begin you may have cramps,pains in your joints, loss of appetite,back pains,nausea/vomiting.You see changes in your mood and attitudes.There are many things to look for not everyone get these symptoms though but if they do it is really that awful,you feel like you want to cut your tummy out (but of course that would hurt more).Hope I helped.Take care.

it all depends. i get massive headaches before a during my period as well as sometimes cramps.

being cranky for a little bit with kind of no reasoning is also a major one and is like woah shes pmsing. but its really what your body does because everybody is different in what happens when.
