Hi - id be so grateful if anyone has any advice on quite a dramatic loss of appitite plus weight loss approx one 10 days before a period , also during and after for about another week .

I am 40 years old, have not taken the contraceptive pill and i usually weigh 8 stone and a couple of pounds (havent weighed myself lately ) its round about that . I seem to compleatly loose my appitite about 10 days before , carnt look at meat as i seem to feel faint for some reason , though i do it it at other times not around a period also nausea with it lasting before during and after a period for about a week till i regain a normal appitite . I am experiencing weight loss , id really prefer not too and was thinking of visiting the dr to just ask if there is anything i can drink or eat something to increase my appitite .

I have not had any children yet but still hoping to , my periods are very regular every 28 days exactly .

Id be really grateful to read of a similar experience of any other ladies and any advice . I just have a sandwhich or toast and bit of anything i can sort of stomach and i sugar my tea for energy and perhaps that helps with a bit of weight .

Thanks for reading

Cathy
