<p>During the week before your period, both oestrogen and progesterone levels fall – which signal the end of that menstrual cycle. As the hormones decrease, some people may experience some signs and symptoms that are a little uncomfortable. However, you can <a href="https://www.healthpost.co.nz/blog/make-peace-with-pms/" target="_blank">Make peace with PMS</a> with some specialised formulations made especially for this time in your cycle.</p>
<h3>PMS Symptoms</h3>
<p>Every person will experience PMS differently – some worse than others. The common signs include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Low energy</li>
<li>Sleep changes</li>
<li>Changeable moods</li>
<li>Tension and increased worries</li>
<li>Breast tenderness</li>
<li>Skin breakouts</li>
<li>Bowel habit changes</li>
<li>Fluid retention</li>
</ul>
<p>If you find that feelings of sadness and overwhelm become unbearable during this time, then visit your health professional, as this can be indicative of another more serious hormonal concern called PMDD.</p>
