Is anyone else accident prone in the lead up to AF? In the last few days I've fallen over, nicked my fingers on one hand and removed the skin on a knuckle on the other hand (I cut a gouge out on a tin). I have bandaids and bandages all over my hands. This stuff always seems to happen to me in the lead up to AF.
Now that I think of it I am a bit. from about a week before, all the way to the week after :lol: I seem to get the feeling I'm walking on something that isn't level, and it makes me walk into door frames :lol: I tend to hurt myself more at work too, and its mostly burns on my hands :( ouchies.
ME! I get really clumsy and injure myself in some way!
Yes, and there's a scientific reason too. Something about the increased fluid retention affecting your proprieception (your brains interpretation of where your body is in space).
Cool. I assumed it had something to do with progesterone. I like the water connection. Feels like the moon's pull on the internal tide :)
Not a fan of being so unco though
I think there is a word for it. Maybe german? I forget. My mum used to say it.
Could also be... I get really unco in early pregnancy too.:
i am a shocker the day before my period
i am so clumsy and usually always manage to drop and break glasses lol
i also manage to bruise myself by running into things
actually as soon as i get clumsy its the first sign AF is on its way lol
This is interesting! I am really unco and walk into door ways a lot... I'll make note of where I am in my cycle and if I do it frequently at that time next time I'm unco.
Yeah, I get that. It also affects my ability to park the car - normally just whizz into a space no worries, but before AF or in early pregnancy I am likely to come close to nudging a pole or another car! Eek. But I am aware of that and I just take a whole lot more care. Maybe no sharp objects near you in pre AF week? LOL
