    I usually gain a pound or 3 in water weight right before, then lose a bit more than that just after and maintain that loss.

    Even though I wouldn't have said it, I'm surprised tmi got 7 flags. Ouch.

    Ah, people who don't understand the flagging system!

    FYI ladies, when you get older, and TOM doesn't ACTUALLY visit....the idea of the visit lingers. So I get the bloating, the weightgain, the emotional spikes, the chocolate cravings.....but no actual TOM. Bummer.

    That stops too. I had, in the past year (about 6 months ago), a two month protracted period of breast tenderness and bloat that led to ... nothing.

    Officially menopausal today. One year without TOM.

    Happy...is there a name for official menopause day? If not, there needs to be! :smile: Congrats!!

    Freedom Day? Thanks!

    Stuff like this makes me feel like I'm cheating because my pills have stopped my cycles altogether. :(

    I tend to gain a little during my TOM because I seem to retain a hell of a lot of water! However, once everything has 'calmed down' I usually find I drop a bit more than I usually do in a week; it's like it all adds up and then becomes apparent once the water retention has died down.

    I always used to put on weight and then it would drop off. Since it returned after having a baby (breastfeeding didn't stop Aunt Flo), I now drop weight. Weird.

    Erm... Azurette birth control pills. They're not designed to have that effect, but I just got lucky, I guess (also paranoid).
