Having more energy while on period?

as the menstrual cycle can cause so much iron loss that one loses energy, I've had that problem for before and it's not a nice feeling.

however recently before i finally got my period i noticed a heavy -set amount of fatigue to the point where i couldn't do anything. followed by cramps and sickness. now that i have my period i suddenly feel energetic and less tired (mainly because of blood loss which leads to some iron loss). i have had some thoughts that maybe i had iron overload but if that were the case, it would disrupt the process of the cycle right?

either way, I'm glad i don't feel so fatigued but the only worry is what really caused the problem in the first place. I'm not a doctor, so the extremes exhaustion could be linked to anything.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    I’m practically worthless on my period. I’ve never known any other feeling.
