Does anyone else lose their appetite on their period?

Always hear about people craving chocolate and ice cream. In the days before and first days of my period I can barely eat. Today is day #1 and I have eaten one bite of my son's Banana. That's it. The idea of eating makes me feel physically sick. Outside of this I have a very healthy appetite. Anyone else similar?

Sometimes, but since I went into peri all bets are off. I don’t know if I’m going to lose my appetite or want to gorge on chocolate.

I feel like gorging on chocolate the rest of the month 🤣

My appetite increases about 10 days before my period, then when it starts it goes back to normal ( which is still quite a high appetite) but I don't get the urge to gorge.

It’s history now but it’s the only time I would want to eat every thing.

Yes, but I only want to snack on sweet things. A full meal makes me feel nauseous but a couple of chocolate bars and eating dulce de leche out the jar is somehow fine!

Interesting. I could possibly contemplate some soup but sweet things are totally off the table!

I often did. Although, sometimes I had to have all the salty and all the sweet--like crisps and KitKats.
