Do you feel a loss of appetite when on your periods?

Question

I feel so bloated I barely eat. Usually I force myself but this time I feel like I would just drink.

Answer 1

sometimes i eat alot when im on it, sometimes ill barely eat.

Answer 2

Usually, my cramps are so bad, the first few days, I can't touch food...can't even drink much.  After that, I go with my cravings...salted ANYTHING, chocolate.

*thinking*

Okay, those two things pretty much cover it!  :)

Answer 3

Not for me; rather, I get huge cravings for junk food that I wouldn't eat otherwise.

How women are on their periods varies, as we are all different.

Answer 4

Well, my little um "friend" is here now and I am starving so I don't have a lost of appetite at all!

Answer 5

sometimes i do ...like u said when your bloated yea i don't feel hungry at all ....but if i'm not bloated omg i can eat a fridge lol

Answer 6

I eat like a horse the 2-3 days before Aunt Flo arrives.  And things I don't normally eat, total junk food.  Then I have no appetite for about a week, even though Flo is gone in 4 days.  All I can do is nibble on food, not eat a meal.  I blame hormones.

Answer 7

Yes, and I have noticed that if I eat anyway, my period won't come.  It's almost like there's something in our brains that won't put out the menses hormones until we have been without food for 24 hours.

I usually fast the 2 days before mine for the reason that you feel bad....eating makes me feel uncomfortable, and I just don't feel hungry.

Answer 8

i feel really bloated AND ravenous at the same time! i feel like i have these cravings.
