Emma said: “As you get older, I do I find I am much more hormonal.

“I still feel like my hormones are getting more severe as I get older.”

Giovanna added: “I found my mood completely changed. When I was a teenager and I’d have a period, I’d just be angry, whereas now the hormones are completely different and it puts you in a really sad place.”
