Starving hungry AFTER your period?

[Springfern]

The day mine ends I can not stop eating. It's like my body has depleted itself and is demanding I renourish it. But I've never heard of anyone else getting this. Anyone?

Im the opposite. If I have a couple of days where I feel unreasonably hungry I usually know my period will arrive in the next few days.
Although for some reason I always feel hungrier on wednesdays than any other day of the week (and despite having a very short cycle it's not quite weekly!!)

I am not currently having periods thanks to continuous taking of mini pill (which I hope I will be able to continue to do until post menopausal)

But I have endo and when I was having periods I would have this, I think mainly as you quite logically said because the body has burned loads of cals dealing with period. In my case probably also because I'd be in so much pain I could barely eat anyway so was eating much less while on period anyway so my body needed to replace those cals.

Ok well maybe not "needed" as I am overweight but thought it had to.

It would only be for 2-3 days though and then I'd be back to "normal"

Hi op I deffo get this. Like pp I have endo and my periods are heavy, long and painful so I think to myself I need the nourishment to build myself back up !

Me too! I have really heavy periods.
