Ladies- when your "cycle" starts, do you occasionally experience cravings similar to pregnancy?

I’m quite the opposite. I usually eat absolutely nothing for the first two days or so. I just feel sick if I even think about eating. I notice that I will crave red meat a day or two before, though. I probably eat a hamburger once a month. haha.

I haven’t been pregnant, so I can’t say if it’s similar, but I do crave sweet stuff. And sometimes I’m just like a bottomless pit – I can eat like a horse!

Only for chocolate. I used to love chocolate at “that time of the month”.

Yes, all normal. I am 2 years out on the periods..what joy!
But, I remember the cravings well, my daughter is 23 she inherited my reproductive DNA, cramps, cravings, lots of advil, bitchy little thing. lol

I’ve never been pregnant, but I have some pretty specific cravings. Sweet & sour pork or pork chops, peanut butter cups and chocolate marshmallow pinwheel cookies. My husband knows not to eat the last cookie when I buy them. (That craving is about twice a year, but he has learned.)

@tedibear

You don’t have to be PMS’ing or pregnant to crave some of those foods. Sounds good to me right now.

omg, marshmallow pinwheels. I’m calling my hubby to see if he can go to the store on his way home.

@WillWorkForChocolate

Yeah, I thoguht the same thing, havn’t had those in years!

Yep.

Yep for me too. Recently heard on the “doctors” that fish rich in omega 3’s can curb the cravings.

I sure did which meant I would eat LOTS of almost anything!

@WillWorkForChocolate and @Coloma – They’re about $4 a container, but we’re all worth it!

@tedibear hehehe, already got some…

Hmm. Now that I really think about this, my cravings kick in when I’m ovulating. That’s when I can eat like a bottomless pit.

@WillWorkForChocolate <getting in car. driving to your house.>

@tedibear Hey now… you’d better stop to get more on your way, or there might be a tussle! :P

Oh gosh, yes! I will eat everything that isn’t nailed to the floor during that time, but chocolate is my biggest temptation.
