Regardless of which symptoms you experience, they appear 7 to 14 days before the periods and disappear when bleeding is started. Let us have a look at 8 Signs that your period is coming:

  1. Period Cramps: One of the common complaints among all women is abdominal cramps. Cramps, which can be painful, signify that menstrual bleeding is about to occur. It is not like other symptoms, it gets started prior to 1 to 2 weeks of the period and once bleeding starts, it ends.
  2. Acne Breakouts: Breakouts are common that can be faced by a woman. An adult man suffers less acne problem in comparison to an adult woman, and the reason behind this is hormones. The rise in hormone leads to sebum production which blocks the pores and this result in pimples before period.

  5. Headache: Headache before the period is caused by change in estrogen levels. If you are prone to migraine, then chances of suffering from headaches before the period are high.
  6. Bloating: Another major complaint is water retention which again is related to hormones, but it can be suppressed by taking less salt, exercising regularly and eating more vegetables and fruits.
  7. Changes in Breasts: Tenderness and swelling in the breasts is another physical sign during the period. It is caused due to high levels of prolactin which is a breastfeeding hormone.
