Does anyone else’s appetite increase during their period? Or before ?

Question

Does anyone know why?

Answer

this is me a couple weeks prior to my period 😂 it's terrible because I eat everything and then get even more depressed because in eating everything, and then when my period comes I no longer have an appetite so I barely eat (which is typical... I can normally last an entire day eating once) so I drop the weight and the cycle repeats itself 😒

Answer

Your hormone levels rise and fall throughout the month going from higher progesterone to higher oestrogen. The rise in progesterone just before your period is what causes you to be hungry. You also burn slightly more calories before you come on.
