The Strange Signs Aunty Flow Is Afoot...

You would think after nearly thirty years of menstruation I would have a fair idea of when Aunty Flow was about to make her arrival known. But my monthly is a tricky one. It's imminent arrival is not heralded by sore breasts, cramps or even just having a few gnarly or overly emotional days. Oh no, it's not until I've gone to the toilet and had an 'uh-oh, whoopsydaisy' moment that I realise I've been missing the sneaky signposts. You see, my period has its own strange tells, ones that you don't usually see in health articles. Naturally, I asked the BR Crew, as well as some friends, what their weird and wonderful pre-period symptoms were to see if my tells were their tells, or if we all had our strange signs that spoke of the incoming red monster, and boy did they come through with some odd ones. Names have been withheld, but the stories are real...

The Rare Truth

And there you have it... the weird, wacky and wonderful signs that the red wave is about to crash into your life. Oh the joys of being a menstruator! 

So, my fellow bleeders, do you have any odd signs that alert you to your period's impending arrival? Or are your signs of the tried and true variety? Get chatting below!

I used to feel bloated and 'watery'. I often had the tell tale cramps and pains as well. I don't miss it.

Mine is usually a giant zit lmao! I'm 7 months postpartum so enjoying still not having one. It can stay away as long as it likes!

I think I have no tells, but I might just be missing them. I'll keep a closer eye on things from now on!
