hi cysters!
sometimes, well, oftentimes, i have pretty weird food cravings. for example, i am almost always craving tomato sauce (which is weird because i hate tomatoes). right around when AF makes her visit, i have to have it for like multiple meal for several days in a row! it's pretty weird, lol. i have tried to see what this could be because of and i wonder if it may be that my body is low on pantothenic acid...although i'm not very sure what that does in your body other than deal with cramps.
another weird craving i usually have....red meat! i crave steak right around AF's visit too! i have to have either a steak, a burger, or spaghetti and meat sauce around that time. it's pretty weird. i have thought this was because of low iron or something like that, though i'm normally not anemic.
i've also craved carbs (that explains the spaghetti with meat sauce and/or lasagna, lol), sushi (i don't know if it's the saltiness or the omega's, lol), liver (sooooo weird! but i think it must be iron or vitamin A), olives and potato chips (think this is salt, lol), and chocolate.
i can't imagine what i would be like if i ever became PG!!!! i figure with the hormonal fluctuations and imbalances that pcos has maybe i'm not the only one with these ridiculous food cravings...
can anyone else relate to this in some way??? i'd love to hear what you're craving and any thoughts you might have on why, lol! if i'm the only one, thanks for taking the time to read and i hope i've at least made you laugh, lol! |

I just wanted to pop in and let you know, you are not alone. When AF is due or a lil bit before I start craving some of the weirdest foods. Trust me last cycle DH thoughts I was PG, because I was craving foods I hate. I never eat chocolate, let alone chocolate ice cream. But right before this AF appeared, I had two medium chocolate sundays with extra hot fudge. I know I am not normal by any means, but I hate chocolate. So trust me I understand the weird cravings, they suck at times.

lol....i can totally understand! it's pretty weird, i really don't care for chocolate at all, but sometimes, around AF, i reeeeeally crave it sooooo badly too! thanks for your reply, regina! it's great to know that i have some company in the weird food cravings. and they do suck..i keep telling myself that at least they can make for a good story or something. i'm still waiting on *discovering* a weird food combination that ends up being the new health food fad that tastes good, lol. | |

Hey I have to admit if feels really good to know I am not alone in these weird cravings. Sometimes after I eat something I will stop and say to myself, ok what the heck did I just eat???? My dh just laughs at me and says it is ok.

penguintattoo...i can't even tell you how wonderful those mashed potatoes with tomato sauce sound right now! if it wasn't for my met-induced nausea right now, i'd head for some right now, lol!
thanks for helping me feel less isolated with this....! | |

My latest one has been vegemite on toast, now any aussies would know what im talking about, but for those of you who dont know what vegemite is, Its a thick black yeast based paste, it smells really bad it looks really bad its very salty and you can only have a very small smear at a time because its flavour is very strong but i just cant get enough of it at the moment! haha!!
other combos i have craved have been bacon egg and cheese pizza but only homemade with a puff pastry base, potato wedges with cheese and bacon and sour cream, i crave mushrooms sometimes, i mostly really crave potatoes or cheese i guess the dairy and pottassium does it for me haha!!
Have a great day
Mel

When I am on spironolcatone, I want to eat salty, fried foods all the time making me thirsty than ever hahhhaa. So I crave fries, chips, cheetos, pickles, pizza...the list is endless. Strangely when I stop spironolactone, I dont have these cravings any more | |

I have been on Lupron for the last 5 months. I love salty foods and I love milk....but since starting this I crave salt and milk like crazy. There is nothing like Conn's (you will know the brand only if you are from Ohio) BBQ Chips and a big glass of ice cold milk. I could have that for an everyday meal and be happy lol. I hate white chocolate but since I started this med. I love Hershey's Cookies and Cream candy bars....actually I can't get enough white chocolate and that is SOOOO not like me. My family and friends just tell me I am weird and move on.
