I usually feel pretty crummy. Mood swings, both high and low. Body aches, dizziness, bowel changes. Migraines. Increased hunger. Just to name a few. Lol.

Yes! I get fatigued and find that I don’t want to do anything other than sleep. But when night time comes I can’t fall asleep. When I finally do fall asleep I wake up all throughout the night. I find the sleep stuff happens 2-3 days prior to my start date.

Also...it isn’t unusual for me to be nauseous too. Which adds to the not wanting to function or eat.

That’s how it goes for me too! Once I start spotting the symptoms lessen and then usually by day 2, 3 at the latest of my actual flow I feel good.
