A member asked:

Can you pas gas a lot before your period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, definitely: Right before your period, Progesterone levels are higher and Progesterone can cause increased gas production in your bowels. If you are on sprintec, as your profile states, then this should be less than you would normally experience without birth control pills.
