Feel like have zero suppression this week?

I'm 6 months in this week, I injected 12.5mg Monday morning (usually Sunday evening) and I feel absolutely Hank Marvin today. I've not changed any of my food intake, actually drank more than usual water yesterday but I feel like I could quite happily polish a 5 course meal right now.

Had 2 crumpet french toasts with a banana protein smoothie for breakfast, full tin of tuna and cheddar cheese and salad lunch time and 2 packets of Ritz crackers and a gym kitchen yoghurt this afternoon. 2 cups of tea and just over 1.5litres of water and still very hungry. Haven't had any dinner just yet but I'm contemplating first takeaway in months.

Has anyone else experienced similar?

Hi I'm just over 2 years in with using these meds. Do you menstruate? I am hungrier on the 3 days before I come on.
Just maybe something to consider if it applies at all to you.

Interesting 🤔, just checked my calendar shows tomorrow as my ovulation date. Says sometimes can make you hungrier.

I do find my appetite ramping up the week before my period arrives. I’ve had erratic periods since I started them 25 years ago (insulin resistant PCOS) and it’s only since I’ve been on MJ that I’ve had them regularly so I can sort of work out what’s going on. It coincides with the last week on a dose and it always makes me order then next strength up whereas in reality i would possibly be fine to carry on on the same one for 2 months.
This is my 4th week on 10mg and am moving up to 12.5 soon and I’ve been really hungry this week, not noticing any effects of MJ - maybe not true at all as I’ve been largely
able to control my cravings.

It just feels strange to have an actual rumbly tummy hunger pang when haven't had one for months.

Have some food? Maybe if you have a couple of slices of toast you will feel less hungry. You’ve not eaten loads of calories so far so I’d try to respond to the hunger and that might avoid a takeaway.

Period affects my appetite even on mj.
