    You may gain a few ounces/pounds over your moon-time. It's normal. Be sure to drink plenty of water and eat lots of iron and it will come back off.

    I gain up to 10 pounds of water weight. I don't weigh at all during that week.

    totally don't stress! wait until you are a few days past your cycle...totally finished, and then weigh in...remember your weight can fluctuate a few pounds up or down on any given day...you sound like you're doing great! Keep up the good work! And just enjoy how your clothes fit!

    PS...that's my positive side talking...I've been there girl...don't stress!

    According to other posts under "TOM" time of month, some ppl gain only 1lb and others gain up to 7lb.... so a gain at TOM is normal.
