Is it normal to feel worse after period ?

I used to feel worse after my periods. The only time I felt a bit better was at ovulation when my hormones peaked. Best to start charting your symptoms to see if there is a pattern.

Good that you are going to doc, get some bloodwork to check thyroid, iron, vitamins, etc. Just know that hormone testing probably would be useless unless your doctor really knows about it.

I'd say you are lucky to be figuring it out this soon, many of us had no idea what hit us.

oh my goodness, this was EXACTLY me after my period! I ended up at urgent care because I was so nervous, I had a spike in blood pressure, probably due to the anxiety!! I felt absolutely horrible, just as you describe! I finally feel better now, having tried to relax, take vitamins, hydrate and tell myself it is only hormones/peri, as scary as it may be. It helps to know we are not alone. Reach out anytime at all, we are here!!

Yes, that happens to me a few times. Sometimes I get cramps towards the end and after my period goes off.

I get this all the time! Just a few days after my period ends I am PMSing again. Super annoying!

Yes this actually happpens to me most months. A few days after period I have pms type symptoms. I think quit a few ladies on here experience it as well. It is good that your going to see doc. Hopefully you will get it sorted out . This is a challenging time in our lives and its so good that we are all here for each other
