What causes migraine after during and before the period?
I sometimes get migraines before and during my period. What causes mine, as a woman who suffers from migraines, is the elevation and then severe drop in estrogen. During ovulation is when your estrogen levels are at the highest, and then your estrogen levels drop suddenly during your period. I don't know exactly why this imbalance causes our heads to pound while other women do okay with it.
Why do breasts hurt before your period?
Just before your period is the time of the highest level of estrogen, which is the primary female hormone. Estrogen regulates the female reproductive system. Breasts become fuller under the influence of estrogen. It is a way of preparing the body for a possible pregnancy to allow the female breasts to produce milk. Progesterone is also a female hormone necessary for pregnancy. If the female becomes pregnant then progesterone becomes elevated and estrogen lessensn. Progestrone means pro-for and gesterone-gestation is a word for pregnancy.Right before your period, hormones are at a high in your body. (When they drop, that's when you get your period.) During this high and when the hormone level drop, it causes breast tissue in many girls to become very sensitive. When the tissue and muscle is more sensitive, little things you normally wouldn't notice (like bumping into someone, for example) can hurt a lot more.
What do estrogens do?
Estrogen, which is found most abundant in women, preforms a wide variety of functions, including: the development of a woman's sexual characteristics during puberty, regulation of the menstrual cycle, and it also is responsible for many of the physical and emotional tumult that a girl goes through during her period. Just before ovulation (a period) a woman's amounts of estrogen and progesterone (another major female hormone) severely drop, triggering the many side affects of a period.

Can losing 8 pounds cause my period to be late?
Maybe. Many things can cause a late period. Periods are also not always on time so this is normal. Re:A woman's body fat is the main source of estrogen production. If you are already a very thin person, losing 8 pounds of fat could affect your estrogen production. Estrogen is used to initiate ovulation, which is followed by (if pregnancy has not occurred) to menstruation. If your levels of estrogen were to drop significantly enough, you could see a delayed, or even an absence of a period.
