Does anyone else get insanely hungry....

...when it's that time of the month?  DH thinks it's all in my head, but once a month like clockwork, I get intense cravings for food!  I seriously feel like I'm going crazy right now...I'd eat anything in sight!  But I had the exact same thing for lunch today that I did yesterday, and yesterday I had no problem waiting to eat dinner until 7pm.  Argh!!!!

I don't understand it either because I've been on the pill for years so it seems like my hormones shouldn't be doing this to me.  Does anybody else experience this?

me too!!!! I am the same way. Today all I wanted was some Taco Bell or chicken and I am determined to get some on the way home from work!

I'm the opposite, during my time of the month my appetite is non-existent. But immediately after I feel the way you do where I could eat anything and everything in sight.

I go through the same thing Carolyn.  My appetite increases and my bladder becomes amazingly smaller this time of the month.  I've been on the pill for years and go through the same thing every month.

Yep, I'm exactly the same way.  I probably eat 5x more food during that week than I do during the other 3 weeks of the month. 

As for the pill comment, I was never hungry like this before I went on the pill (at least that I can remember, it was a while ago).  And since I've gone off the pill, the food cravings have probably dropped in half.  It makes me think that the pill was responsible for it.  Who knows.

Well they do say that the pill makes you gain weight, right?

I don't get awfully hungry, but I do crave chocolate and pee a lot as well.
