    I usually gain 2-3 pounds but it disappears after a few days. The weight doesn't bother me as much as the bloat. Blah.

    Well ive only had mine for about 20 years now so I dont really have it figured out yet get back to me in 15 more years
    It's amazing how true that is. Some people will joke or admonish saying 'You should know already' but it's not something I really track and only think about it when I notice it. That's one of the reasons I'm logging weight even if it is TOM so I can look back. I think I gain a couple pounds, but not more than 5.

    Yeah man, I don't know if I gain during it - but how much bigger I look and feel is such a bummer.

    Does anyone know if midol helps handle this? their adds say it treats bloating. that seems to good to be true.

    I gain, though I don't know how much as I've not weighed. I seem to gain around 2 inches on my waist and maybe an inch on the bust, which goes down about 2 days in. I usually find just before I start I get really down about having plateaued and being all fat, then a few days later I make a huge leap down in size/weight, then plateau again for the next month.

    You are probably just retaining water. The bloating some experience is from retaining water. You will find it goes away soon after that lovely monthly experience leaves you.

    and once you think you've figured it out, it all changes. I thought my sister was teasing me when she told me that, but as usual, Big sister knows...

    I too have the mirena, so not much of a period. Prior to kids, I would gain a MINIMUM of 5 lbs and eat like a horse, that's not even including the cravings!
