Is it normal to cry before your period?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes—crying more easily before your period is common. Hormonal shifts can affect your mood, and it often eases once your period starts.

You’re not being dramatic: changes in hormones before your period can make you feel more emotional, and plenty of people find themselves crying more easily. It may come with other PMS symptoms and usually settles as your period begins or shortly after.

If the mood changes feel overwhelming, disrupt your life, or don’t ease after your period, it’s worth talking with a healthcare professional. Tracking when it happens can help you spot a pattern.
