What Are The Symptoms Before Your Period?

Wondering when your period is going to come?

Your body has a way of telling you by way of a bunch of period symptoms that you may pick up on if you pay close attention.

About a week before their period, many girls notice they feel a little, well, different. The technical term for these symptoms before your period is pre-menstrual syndrome – aka PMS.

Sometimes the symptoms before your period sneak up on you. Only after you notice that spot of blood in your knickers does the past week, all of a sudden, make much more sense.

That’s why you got in a row with your bestie, blew up at your mom, felt too tired to hang out after school, and cried watching that sappy advert on the telly.

These were all signs of getting your period, but you just didn’t know it yet. Knowing what to look out for can help make sure your period symptoms don’t get the better of you, and you’re ready for your period.
