This question gets asked so often that I'm surprised there isn't a sticky on it by now.

No worries, it's normal to retain water during your TOM, ovulation, both times, or anywhere in between; every woman is different. Some have big 3 to 5 pound weight loss "whooshes" when their period comes and hold water the rest of the month, others don't. Me personally? I hold like 3 pounds during ovulation and when my period comes 3 to 5 pounds drop off. There is one week after my period and in between ovulation and my period where I look really lean and I have a six-pack, then it goes away and I'm back to a four-pack.

In any case, wait it out and keep hope alive! If you're a daily weigher, you'll get to know your personal TOM fluctuations.
