Is this normal?

Just wondering - does anyone else get much heightened appetite around mid-cycle / ovulation (approximately)? I thought it was the end of the cycle that was meant to bring on the munchies?

Having cravings (for anything and everything) fairly badly today, and I'm sure I remember similar from around the same time in the last cycle too. 'Spose it could be coincidentally the weekend that's triggering it and I'm overanalyzing.... but not all weekends are this bad.

Entirely normal. The symptoms are a little milder than during TOM, but what happens is a release of estrogen that triggers your reproductive system to get ready for the egg. Estrogen is the culprit... as usual :grumble:

I've experienced that too - more so than during my period usually.

I do, but it's usually at it's peak just before my period hits, then dies down over the next few days.
