Why is a woman's sense of smell more sensitive before her period starts?

A couple days before my extent starts, my sense of smell is heightened - everything smells pungent and certain smells bother me more than usual. I own almost a gaggy feeling concerning food. I can't stand smelling or consumption greasy foods like pizza. Is within a reason why this happen? Also, about a week since my period, why do I hold such a strong sex drive? I've heard it's your body unfolding you to have sex/ procreate, but since this is a week after ovulation (well I'm guessing here because the time starts 2 weeks after ovulating), wouldn't it be too late for the egg to return with fertilized? Our bodies are strange things.

has anyone had near throyid out?


It's hormones. I've heard that women, surrounded by general, enjoy a better sense of smell than men, because of our hormones. I know one woman who had to quit using a sure hormone therapy, because suddenly, the smells of her own home be making her sick. The same thing can appear to pregnant women.
