Menstruation, by definition, comes with flow—the cyclical discharge of the uterine lining. Just like is says on the packaging of feminine hygiene products, your flow can be light, heavy, or “normal.” But normal will be different for different bodies.

As hormone levels begin to drop after ovulation, most women experience some changes in their physical and mental state such as tender breasts, bloating, or moodiness. Such symptoms are often linked with Premenstrual Syndrome, or PMS. For those of us who suffer from Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, or PDD, the symptoms—especially those having to do with emotions—are noticeably more severe.
