• You have skin breakouts.

Ever notice how the days before your period are when your skin seems to break out the most? It could be that your period is about to start.

More than 50% of women, according to researchers, claim that the week prior to their period is when their acne symptoms worst.

Because progesterone raises the amount of sebum (oil) produced by your skin, it might cause acne breakouts before a period.

• You sense swelling.

Bloating is a fully typical, albeit very unpleasant, period symptom.

Hormone fluctuations can cause bloating; for example, high progesterone levels can delay the digestive tract, causing constipation and bloating.

It’s crucial to consult a medical expert to rule out anything harmful if your bloating symptoms continue even after your period has finished.

• Mood changes

It may also be a clue that your period is on the way if you find that your emotions are stronger than usual.

It is believed that emotional symptoms are linked to hormonal fluctuations, specifically the drop in estrogen, which can make us feel down and irritated.
