    Yes! I get so hungry more than I do get cravings. I also hold on to a few pounds that week, AND when I'm ovulating. Which is frustrating.

    I try not to give into too many cravings unless I think it's going to prevent me from being a psycho b*&#c to everyone.

    Week 1 of my pill after a period: hello hormonal adult acne.
    Week 2 of pills: begin to feel human, skin clears; halfway through the week the bloating begins
    Week 3 of pills: feel fat and grumpy, wicked PMS every 2-3 months
    Placebo Pill week: period begins, get super hungry but feel active and motivated to be a productive member society despite cramps and discomfort.

    It has taken me 3 different hormonal balances in 3 different pills to find one that doesn't cause terrible depression or inconvenient and unpredictable breakthrough bleeding. I think you just need to cut yourself some slack during your period and accept that you need a bit more fuel to get the job done and get back to normal. We must appease the hormone beast.
