A member asked:

In the few days to a week before my period, i feel hungrier or crave certain foods, but once my period arrives, i don't feel very hungry and don't feel like eating as much. i assume hormone levels are to blame, but which ones?

Progesterone level is highest in the luteal phase so it could be the culprit if you have craving a few days to a week before the period. We can exclude estrogen, FSH and LH because these hormones are higher in the first half of the cycle (follicular phase) before ovulation.
