Ok so I have always been at least a little overweight, so I probably would get bloated but honestly I didn't notice cause I was fat. Now that I am a little trimmer I am noticing that I think I am bloated. My period hasn't started yet but I know it's coming today or tomorrow. My question is when do you get bloated? Before your period, during or after. I feel like If I could just start then the bloating would go away. Anybody out there know if it goes away once your period starts?

    I always get it the week before I start. Mine usually goes away during or just after it ends. Everyone may be a little different but mostly I think it is the week before you start. Hope this helps a little;)

    I think it is a week before, and I get puffy all over, I must retain water because my clothes feel tight.

    Yep! I do. I usually start feeling the effects about a wk before. The days just before and after are probably the worst. Ick!

    Bloating before is very normal! lol I bloat a couple days before mine and even a little bit during. One thing I have figured out is to really watch the salt intake when it's around my period (even though salty food is what I crave). Good luck!

    Drinking peppermint tea is supposed to help with bloating :)
