Signs Your Hormones Are Out of Balance

Your hormones control way more than your period. They affect your mood, energy, skin, sleep, weight, and even how your brain works. So when something’s off, your whole body feels it.

Here are the most common signs your hormones may be out of balance.

 

1. Irregular or Missing Periods

Late, skipped, or unpredictable cycles often mean ovulation isn’t happening regularly  a major sign of hormonal imbalance.

 

2. Extreme PMS or Mood Swings

If you feel anxious, depressed, irritable, or emotionally out of control before your period, estrogen and progesterone may be out of sync.

 

3. Heavy or Painful Periods

Very heavy bleeding, strong cramps, or clotting can point to estrogen dominance or low progesterone.

 

4. Acne, Hair Loss, or Facial Hair

These can be signs of androgen (testosterone) imbalance, often seen with PCOS.

 

5. Constant Fatigue

Hormone issues can make you feel tired no matter how much you sleep.

 

6. Trouble Sleeping

Low progesterone and shifting estrogen can wreck your sleep cycle.

 

7. Weight Changes You Can’t Explain

Sudden weight gain or loss  especially around the belly often ties back to insulin, cortisol, or thyroid hormones.

 

Your cycle is your body’s monthly report card. When it changes, it’s telling you something.
