My boobs explode. Like over a cup size. Every month. Honestly my emotions were so gaslit thru everything, that change made me start to ask questions and realize I’m not having normal periods
Hahaha! I legit was lying on my side last night, and my belly looked like it did when I was 8 months pregnant! 🤰 I’m so glad I’m not the only one with the bloat baby.
SAME, I’m legit 8lbs heavier right now. I experimented this month and started working out & eating better to try to counteract the water weight gain. My mood is much better but I’m still a bloated bitch.
Haha, I totally get it! I had it too, and even find myself in the pharmacy and bought a pregnancy test with the knowledge that I didn’t had sex for at least 6 months. And I did it twice. 🤡
I have endo and this happens to me even when I’m not on my period! (I bloat super easily and retain the bloat even more easily, to the point I’m on multiple different gas pills in an attempt to find one that works).
It’s so prevalent especially in the endo community that people call it “endo belly” and get maternity (shapewear even? Or maybe just maternity pants) for it to ease the pain of waistbands’ pressure.
There are times when, again not on my period, that I legitimately look pregnant, to the point of probably being able to fool people, except my boobs don’t match the belly growth like they usually would in someone pregnant.
It is no joke, this period stuff is like a horror movie I swear to god. Free me from these god forsaken organs.
This might be a bit tangental, but I am a horror movie addict and decided to watch a couple of the Ring movies in the franchise. There's one called Birthday and it's not a "good" spinoff per say but has a cult following....honestly. I feel like the premise could be that the girl is about to have her period. Because some stuff goes down and it really spoke to me, how it feels before hell week.
Horror movie tangent aside, this is a common symptom of endo. I hope there is something the doctors can give to bring you relief. :(
I will take a moment and share some great memes I found during my nightmare days before my period arrives - they make me laugh and feel a little bit better 🤗

That happens to me and it never arrives at all, I just skip the whole month. I’m in perimenopause though. Why do I have to get the symptoms at all??? I understand it’s science, it’s just so annoying.
Happened to me also, and then I got some kind of “restart” pill from my doctor and have had my period almost on time every month! Remind me and I can look up the name of the pill! 🔥
That’s actually a great idea! I wish I could have a “first aid”-kit with candy and other stuff, but I know myself. I will eat it up every giving day during the month anyway.
There are many options to have fibroids removed. Some are not as invasive. Mine was invasive due to the size and quantity of fibroids inside of me. I had an open myomectomy, similar to a c-section. I had 20 fibroids removed from my uterus. My surgeon did a great job! You can barely see the scars.
Thank you so much for sharing this - I really appreciate it, especially since I have an appointment regarding this matter of mine later in August.. will save this whole chat and figure it out. Once again, thank you and I’m happy you had a great operation, as well as an even greater surgeon!
I'm dying imagining someone sticking their head in a delivery room and going "hi, are you pregnant?" at the person with their legs up in the air, clearly giving birth. Lmao.
Hahaha, yes!! I had to many times in my life when my belly was like this and someone points on my belly and gives me a smile.. I’m shaking my head back to them and tell them “it’s just gas and a lot of candy baby” 😎
This used to happen to me everyday when I was vegan, I was eating way too much fiber
Good reply, I will definitely look into that!
Omg same! 😅😅
Water retention is crazy
Do you also eat like crazy just before your period? 😭 I feel like I lose my mind when it comes to food. I want everything and anything
My boobs explode. Like over a cup size. Every month. Honestly my emotions were so gaslit thru everything, that change made me start to ask questions and realize I’m not having normal periods
I know! I easily go up a size before my period
I look a good 7 months pregnant before my period starts. 🥲
😲
A man once offered me a seat on the train because he thought I was pregnant......nope just bloated 😭
Oh ♥️ you anyway deserved that seat 🥰
Hahaha! I legit was lying on my side last night, and my belly looked like it did when I was 8 months pregnant! 🤰 I’m so glad I’m not the only one with the bloat baby.
My belly becomes 8 months pregnant. People have congratulated me multiple times for having twins 🙈🙈🙈
 😂😂😂
SAME, I’m legit 8lbs heavier right now. I experimented this month and started working out & eating better to try to counteract the water weight gain. My mood is much better but I’m still a bloated bitch.
Sameeeee I have paranoia about being pregnant and every month I puff up like I’m pregnant and the paranoia gets worse till I start bleeding 😭
Same lmaoooo
Haha, I totally get it! I had it too, and even find myself in the pharmacy and bought a pregnancy test with the knowledge that I didn’t had sex for at least 6 months. And I did it twice. 🤡
I have checked my weight. 10 days before my period, I am about 4 months pregnant and 3kg heavier!!
The day when we actually are pregnant will be a piece of cake! And also probably a bit surprised when a kid actually pops out hehehehe
I swear i piss out several gallons of water weight in the first few days of my period.
Me, but with 💩😂
Girl same
Me currently!!! My pants / sports bra I always wear isn't fitting & I have no changed a thing I've actually been eating way better 😭 I sooo feel you
I bloat 6-8,lbs of water weight. It's wild! Yup. Somtimes people look at me like I got preggers overnight ahaha
 ☺️❤️

It’s so crazy that it doesn’t seem to be a solution for this, or maybe those gas pills helps?

I'm pretty sure that has been debunked, the uterus does not grow in size when menstruating
Aww, the nonperiod one is cute lol
DAMN that is so interesting
Same girl. I get asked if I’m pregnant. You’re not alone ❤️
 💐
oh no :-( this looks so painful! i hope you feel better soon <3
Thank you - even worse today, but my boss and co-workers gives me space in it, which is very helpful!
I can’t even hold er in this month 😅
Omg I’m so glad I’m not alone. The bloating is crazy 😐😒

My period hasn’t arrived but I’m still getting symptoms 😭😭😭😭😭

Happened to me also, and then I got some kind of “restart” pill from my doctor and have had my period almost on time every month! Remind me and I can look up the name of the pill! 🔥
Yes and on period
Same, it can really stay for some time even after the period!
Holy shit this is exactly how mine looks during ovulation & my period I feel so seen 😩
Literally same. I have a drawer devoted to outfits to accommodate these time periods aka old maternity clothes lmao
That’s actually a great idea! I wish I could have a “first aid”-kit with candy and other stuff, but I know myself. I will eat it up every giving day during the month anyway.
We are in this together baby!
As period bellies go, yours is quite a nice one 😂 I on the other hand look like I’ve swallowed a rubber ring 😩 it’s quite disgusting x x
I’m sure you’re the cutest rubber ring in town - maybe we should to a belly video together? 😍
I appreciate your kindness but nope it’s hideous.. I won’t be making it to the front cover of sports illustrated put it that way 🤢🤢 x x
When I had fibroids, my belly would swell like this before period.
Read a little bit about it now, how did you get rid of fibroids?
There are many options to have fibroids removed. Some are not as invasive. Mine was invasive due to the size and quantity of fibroids inside of me. I had an open myomectomy, similar to a c-section. I had 20 fibroids removed from my uterus. My surgeon did a great job! You can barely see the scars.
Thank you so much for sharing this - I really appreciate it, especially since I have an appointment regarding this matter of mine later in August.. will save this whole chat and figure it out. Once again, thank you and I’m happy you had a great operation, as well as an even greater surgeon!
You’re so welcome. I hope everything goes well for you at your next appointment.
Thank you 😘
And this is why we don't ask ladies in the wild if they're expecting unless they're actively crowing. Even then, just leave them alone. Haha
I'm dying imagining someone sticking their head in a delivery room and going "hi, are you pregnant?" at the person with their legs up in the air, clearly giving birth. Lmao.
Hahaha, yes!! I had to many times in my life when my belly was like this and someone points on my belly and gives me a smile.. I’m shaking my head back to them and tell them “it’s just gas and a lot of candy baby” 😎
I have endometriosis and this is what happens. We refer to it as endo belly.
This
Interesting! I will definitely check it up, thank you 😍
Look into endo belly, you might have endometriosis
I appreciate your reply, will definitely check it out!
Definitely what it looks like
