Ovulation Time: It is at this time when your ovary is swollen and ruptures to release the ovum which is trapped by the tubal fimbriae for fertilization at the outer third.

Question 5

i get so bloated 2 weeks before my period.  it's so uncomfortable and i feel embarrassed that my stomach is so big. why is this and what can i do?

Accepted Answer

PMS: There is a laundry list of signs and symptoms of pms/pmdd and bloating is one of them.      One of the best options is to be on some sort of birth control (pill, patch, ring, shot) to block ovulation.    This helps to alleviate a lot of the pms symptoms, including bloating.

Question 6

4 days before period, no sign of pms which i usually have. had unprotctd sex 2 days before fertility window. one week of feeling bloated. y?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: The unprotected sex you had was near enough to your ovulation, so you may be pregnant.  Wait until you miss your period for a week, then check a pregnancy test.  Best wishes.

Question 7

i've been very bloated, mood swings, having cramps that come and go for 2 week suppose to start my period next week.could pms occur 2weeks before period?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It's a little longer time period than some, but your symptoms could still represent pms. Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (pmdd) is a more severe version of this syndrome. Maybe track your symptoms carefully for a few months and  see your family or gyn physician. There are several free symptom trackers online:  ww.Pfizerpro.Com/resources/specialties/docs/zoloft_pe_symptom_tracker.Pdf.

Question 10

bloated for 3weeks. have a sore throat 5 days before period. could it have anything to do with pregnancy? i've had my last 2 periods.

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: It's unlikely that your sore throat is related to your period or to possibly being pregnant.  Have you missed your period?  Bloating is more commonly related to problems/issues in the gastrointestinal tract, than is to the female reproductive tract.  Though a condition called endometriosis can cause bloating. Drink lots fluids, get lots rest to help with sore throat.
