Have you or anyone you know experienced this?

At the moment practically all of my 'mum' friends are pregnant. I am not at least I highly doubt I am cos I have a coil but I am experiencing extremely strong cravings for Heinz tomato soup which is what I craved whilst pregnant. I have to have it everyday at least once.
Has anyone ever experienced anything similar? You know how groups of women end up menstruating at the same time do you think its possible to be affected by other people's pregnancies???

Not sure, but my sisters boobs leaked milk for a good while when I was pregnant. Strange since she had not breastfed for 10 years?!

God that's really mental isn't it?! It would be interesting to do a study on the effects of pregnancy on the female friends and family.

WEll females who live together tend to mensturate together maybe it a similar thing

sorry to burst the bubble but you can still get pg with the coil in!

that would be a very big bubble burst!! Christ that would be awful!!

This doesn't really answer your question, but I get tomato cravings every now and again too - tomato soup, ketchup, pasta sauce, tomato juice etc. Are you anaemic at all? Tomatoes help your body absorb iron, and cravings can be an indication that you're not getting enough (which may be due to pregnancy!)

That's interesting! I usually eat more iron rich food but haven't had any eggs or red meat for a few weeks so that might be the answer!! Had some spotting yesterday. Not due on for another week. Hope that wasn't implantation bleeding!!
