food cravings and appetite

in Success after IF
I'm on day 8 of stims and just wondering if I am crazy (ok, that's a loaded question) but I feel like my appetite has gone through the roof. I'm still working out, albiet much less and lower intensity but I feel like I've eaten all day and still starving. Part of me wants to say eff it and go get ice cream, but I also and trying not to gain a crap ton of weight before I even GET pregnant. Ugh.

    I think all those hormones definitely messed with my appetite during treatment cycles.  I would try to fill myself up with healthy stuff, and have a tiny treat in the evening, like one oreo, or a few bites of frozen yogurt.

    I typed all this up this morning, but apparently never hit post.  Oops.
