Bloated tummy and sore boobs

Hi girls, over the past year I've been keeping a diary of my periods, they've been appearing anywhere from forthrightly to 6 weekly and vary in length etc

I'm now 6 weeks after my last one and have been feeling as if one was going to start for over a week. My boobs are really sore and my tummy is solid and really bloated. It feels like I've got a balloon in my tummy full of water. It's making me feel exhausted and my weight is soaring by the day.

I've put a stone on over this past year and feel really miserable.

My anxieties have continued and I am very lethargic

Has any one else had this?

Xx

    Hi. Mine have been getting shorter and length varying too.

    yes last night once again I ballooned up with a hard tummy and my boobs ached all night long, for name this usually happens later in my cycle so I figure it's going to be short again this cycle.

    do you have pain when your tummy bloats?

      No I don't have pain, just get really bloated and I go from being constipated to being stuck in the loo.

      Yep. That's how I am too. Look like I'm 3 mos. preg. My body looks so disproportioned. Big belly, big butt and big legs. The rest of me is skinny. Mostly my arms.

    I am so happy to hear someone else ask about the belly bloat, honestly when I noticed it, I really freaked out, I am bloated in more than my belly. It is very miserable. I wish I knew what could be done to erradicate this.

      It's awful isn't it Lennie! I feel like I've been zipped into one of those comedy fat suits and pumped with air some days.

    This is helpful, I am also struggling! I'm exercising, including spinning 4 x per week, and boxing! I wear a heart rate monitor to push my exercising level up and I am watching my weight and trying to stay sane? my tummy is constantly bloated and my boobs are so sore, my periods are still regular although I'm 49, and I'm putting weight on not loosing it, I've been taking probiotics which help me with the discomfort. I've always had no trouble with weight and until recently never moved past the 8.5 stone -9 stone max! I feel rubbish I have hit 10 stone and feel like a lead weight and very miserable with myself, I am normally happy go lucky and I have no clue what's happening to me.
