So unfair LOL

I am due for AF tomorow and have had cramping, low back ache, bloating, sore boobs for the past week !!!!!!! Arggghhhh - Think the whitch is out to get me with avengence LOL

Since we all need to be reminded of these especially in the 2ww I thought I would remind everyone of this.

Physical changes include:
??????? Breast swelling and tenderness.
??????? Bloating, water retention, weight gain.
??????? Changes in bowel habits.
??????? Acne.
??????? Nipple discharge when nipples or breasts are pressed. (Any nipple discharge that occurs when you aren't pressing on a nipple should be checked by a health professional.)
??????? Decreased sexual desire.
??????? Food cravings, especially for sweet or salty foods.
??????? Sleep pattern changes.
??????? Fatigue, lack of energy.
Emotional and cognitive symptoms include:
??????? Depression, sadness, hopelessness.
??????? Anger, irritability.
??????? Anxiety.
??????? Mood swings.
??????? Decreased alertness, inability to concentrate.Behavioral changes include:
??????? Aggression.
??????? Withdrawal from family and friends.
Pain includes:
??????? Headaches or migraines.
??????? Breast tenderness.
??????? Aching muscles and joints.
