Cravings do not constitute pregnancy. Anyone can crave certian foods , men , women and children! Cravings are not symptom nor are they something to determine pregnancy by. Take a test thats what they are made for.

You can crave anything when you are pregnant. Many people crave things and are not pregnant too. IF you think you are pregnant, pregnancy tests are easy to take.

Usually what a craving tells you is that your body is lacking something in that food. I am not talking about addictions. But say you crave spinach for some reason...that would be because of it's iron content. I know, who craves spinach lol....but you get the idea.

No, it sounds like you're hungry. Your body can crave foods even when you're NOT pregnant. Perhaps you have an iron deficiency?

This question goes along with the question that I had asked earlier in the day, and this is not the only symptom that I have been having. Also I do have an iron deficiency due to anemia....and I don't have these cravings normally, nor any time in the past. I do not believe that they are linked because the type of anemia that I have is a rare type only found in people of mediteranean descent. Consuming more iron does not help.
