Hungry without Progesterone?

Hi, @blueskies1530. It can be so frustrating to decipher the many changes that come along with perimenopause.

There are lots of factors that can affect huger cues. Fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone can play a part. And lower estrogen levels can affect the hormone ghrelin, which stimulates hunger, as well as leptin, which helps you feel full. Sleep disruptions, increased stress, and changing energy levels can also affect your appetite.

Have you talked to you primary care provider about your increased hunger?
