A member asked:

I usually get gasy a week or two before my period. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: About 10-14 days before your period, your body starts making more progesterone. This is a hormone from the ovary. One of the effects of Progesterone is to slow your bowels down a little. So many women feel bloated or gassy.
