Changes in Menstruation Symptoms

Any of my fellow menstruating individuals notice changes in symptoms throughout their cycle? For example, I know the first couple of days of my period I have massive amounts of energy and motivation.

Oh geez I'm literally the opposite of this. I always sleep 12 hours the day before I start, have low energy the first two days, then I'm alright the last two days. If I don't sleep that 12 hours before, I'm a wreck the whole time I'm on the rag.

Tbh my period is so erratic sometimes I get it but for like months and months I won’t. Maybe my birth control. Usually I’m really angry hungry emotional beginning my period

Yup I was fascinated to learn about adhd’s hormone highjacking as it were. Anyone else take stimulant meds that have messed with their cycle or caused them severe menstrual pain?
