How soon before your TOM do you see the scale go up/fluctuate?
Think I'm maybe about 5 days/week away and think I'm seeing a gain due to bloating

    I am right around ovulation time this week and I was up 3 lbs this morning, lol. I've been doing good and it came out of nowhere. I know from the past few months that I seem to retain more in the middle of my cycle and it will drop off in no time.

    For me it was 3 days before period, and day before, of and after ovulation.

    If you want to know more, there are probably several hundred threads about folks ToM. Give them a gander.
    cheers

    My weight starts climbing 5 days before, and usually peaks at 2kg (4ish lb gain). I have never taken note of what happens at ovulation time, but will this month.

    I'll be curious what you see. I saw 2-4 every month around day 11 to 13. ish.

    when I ovulate there is a spike and then about a week before then down again and then up again. I have been tracking period on iPeriod and it's been interesting to see when the major fluctuations happen. My revenous beast day happens 8 days before period. as soon as I actually get the period i'm not longer crazy bottomless put hungry.
