On the days leading up to your period, your body feels like it’s waging a war against itself; and a week after your cycle ends, you’re at peak GGSS. But do you know why? Glamour produced a video of your period personified, and it’s totally on point:

Days 1 to 2: Fatigue + cramps

Days 3 to 5: More estrogen = more energy

Days 6 to 9: Glowing skin!

Days 10 to 13: Better orgasms

Days 14 to 18: Ovulation, ugh

Days 19 to 22: Breakouts

Days 23 to 25: Bloating

Days 26 to 28: Get ready to do it all over again.
