Hello Mandy:

Yes,it is very normal for women to be very tired before their period due to their fluctuating hormones. Right before my period,I experience the following things which are all normal:

Sore,Swollen,and Sensitive Boobs

Mood Swings: Happy one minute,Sobbing the next minute,a stranger gives me a dirty look and I am ready to kick their butt,etc..

Hungry: Did I mention Hungry? Oh yes,I could eat until I get sick,I am so ravenous all I want to do is eat and eat and eat.

Acne: Some women have acne on their face,chest or back,that is perfectly normal before your period.

Bloating: Your tummy may retain water and you may feel really bloated.

Tired: It is perfectly normal to feel very tired or exhausted before your period because your hormones are fluctuating and all you want to do is sleep. I know because before my period,I can go to bed early the night before,and all I want to do is sleep and sleep and sleep the next day.

Cravings: It is perfectly normal to crave chocolate,salt,fattening foods,doughnuts,soda pop,all the things that are supposedly bad for us,but taste so good.

Some women will also feel depressed before their periods,or they may be forgetful too,which is normal to due to hormones.

I hope that this has been helpful advice for you? ;-)

Yes, it's perfectly normal to feel exhausted before the onset of your period. Because your hormones are fluctuating at this time, it can take a toll on your body. I get extremely fatigued before, during and after my period. Just rest if you get too tired!
