I have had an unusual craving for chocolate lately. I am not pregnant. I rarely used to eat chocolate, but now find myself craving it daily. Is this a medical condition or should I worry about it?

Why do I crave food on the pill but only at night?

why crave
cassimariex3 asked:


Since I have started birth control, Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo to be exact, I have only been hungry at night. And it’s at around 10 PM or later. Even if I eat dinner at 6 PM or so, once 10 PM hits I feel like I’m starving and could eat my house. I was never like this before the pill, why is this? Would switching to Yaz be a good idea?

meg (on Violet Hill) asked:


First thing in the morning when I wake up, I crave milk with my breakfast. And it’s a really strong craving! Why is this? Is it unusual at all?

And I really love milk by the way. I can drink it anytime! But my craving is usually first thing in the morning. And sometimes before I go to bed. But mostly just in the morning.

I am curious as without fail, I get powerful cravings for all sweet and unhealthy foods in the days before my period starts, and seem to get hungrier too, yet to my knowledge, the metabolism is not any faster at this time.

Can anyone tell me any science behind why women crave sweets during their period?

why crave
sugasuga asked:


I am one of the few women I know that doesnt crave chocolate, I usually dont have an urge for cakes, chocolate or anything sweet except sometimes something creamy like ice cream or pudding. But every month right at the start of my period I become a chocolate maniac, this morning it was so bad that I picked through my daughter’s valentines and now all she has are those gross candy hearts to snack on..lucky for me she doesnt like chocolate either : )
There has to be a physical reason for this just curious, thanks
