TMI sorry
Body all funny today like I have a phantom period. Got all the symptoms of the first day of monthly that tired wanna eat be sick lathargic feeling.
Does it affect your BG levels? I woke with a 3.8 and even now at 4.1 nearly 2 hours after breakfast of porridge.
Ps this is first time they been this low in the morning. And haven’t had monthly since my son was born his 15 months
 
Usually, my BG reacts to periods by going up rather than down.
But we are all different.

You say you feel as if you have a phantom period, your BG is low and this is the first time you have been this low in the morning.
Perhaps what you are feeling is the after-effect of a night time hypo and nothing to do with being female.
I always describe it as like I have a hangover but without the fun the night before: feeling lethargic, sick, head ache, ...
 
Yes that’s correct. Obviously having baby messed around with monthly that we spot on before having him next delayed by days. Haha was perfect. So could be the low side to being low during the night? But now I’m awake the effects?? My normal morning numbers are around 5 so 3.8 is low for me x
