Can you feel your period when it happens?

Some people can feel their period when it happens, while others do not. There are a few different ways that people can feel their period. Some people experience cramps or pain in their lower abdomen, back, or thighs. Others may feel bloated, tired, or have headaches. Some people also experience mood swings or changes in appetite. If you are not sure whether or not you are having your period, you can always take a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.
