Title: Increased appetite!
Post by: jasmine5 on May 13, 2021, 07:33:11 AM

Has anyone experienced an increase in appetite due to low Oestrogen levels?  I’m waiting for a new prescription for Gel/tablets, but since my levels have fallen I’ve found I’m starving all the time and my appetite is through the roof!! I’ve got a telephone appointment with the Consultant on 26th but I’m worried I’ll be half a stone heavier by then!

I wonder how much hormones play in our energy requirements  :-\.  ?  I remember feeling really tired prior to a bleed.  A friend used to hoover the house top to bottom 2 days B4 her periods started.
