A question about the cycle

[indiedancer]

The level of hunger depends greatly on where in my cycle I am, the second half after ovulation is brutal for me, sometimes I feel like I constantly have an urge to eat something. It got worse with perimenopause.

And when you're on Mounjaro now, has it actually changed those urges for you? Do you still feel hunger fluctuations through the cycle?

I’m not sure about my appetite, but I have noticed I never lose weight the week before my period starts. And it’s actually not because I’m eating more, as I track what I eat. Therefore must be water retention from the hormones.

The week of my period I suddenly have a nice drop in weight, which I presume is water retention going! Just annoying that week before when the scales don’t drop, despite doing everything ‘right’.
