Of course two days before a trip I get the worst period I've had in months. Pain, mess and crying.

But on the other hand... two days until a trip!

Mega sympathy! I'm much enjoying dealing with that less often, but the lack of predictability makes the emotional suckfulness much harder to keep in check. Easier to not be blubbering mega bitch when you know that's the reason

Mine's pretty regular but still get blindsided by the emotional disaster I become for a few hours until it clicks. Stupid brain.

Previously predictable to 13 hours. And possibly PMDD if I'd ever heard of it earlier. Choc/heat/drugs as you need

Typical. Mine loves a good holiday and usually waits until I'm away. Especially if I'm doing something awkward like camping somewhere that doesn't have toilets.

it's because you are relaxed and have less stress hormones

annoying but true

travel often makes periods worse because sitting in very upright positions for long times increases blood pressure to lower half of body

If possible I used to book flights around my cycle. It was that bad.

I haven't started the travel, so the stress is still hiiiigh. Leaving in under 48hr, won't even pack until we're a few hours from leaving. Thankfully the flight isn't pretty short!
