    Normally I notice it during the week before. This past cycle, I noticed a change about 10-14 days before it started, mostly in my breasts. I don't know if that had more to do with ovulation or what. By the time my cycle started my breasts stopped feeling so heavy and sensitive but by then I was in the throes of my usual bloating. It went away afterward.

    Funny this should be asked today as I am currently riding the cotton pony. I gain 1-2 days before and feel like a water ballon the day of. I weigh the least the day I ovulate.

    That's hilarious!!! :laugh:

    QUESTION: WHEN DO YOU GAIN WEIGHT DURING TOM? IN THE BEGINNING OR TOWARDS WHEN IT IS ENDING?
    At the end, then it dissipates abput 3 days after its done.

    As for the "its not TOM, its the food u eat": I disagree. I've regimented my diet that week several times and stil retain water...like clockwork. Again each body is different and blanket diagnoses are a bad idea.
    It doesn't matter how I eat either. It comes and goes much like my period itself right on schedule.

    Always the week before and during and then by the time it's gone I'm back to where I started, however this month I managed to maintain my weight and so when it was done I was actually down which I find much better HAHA!

    Sometimes a day or two before, but mostly in the middle since I tend to retain water during my period.

    As strange as this may seem, I am anxiously awaiting the arrival (and speedy departure soon-after) of this month's "visitor", so things will get back to normal!!!! Grrrr!!!!!! It seems like the week BEFORE Aunt Flo, I cannot drop a single pound. I eat well, I workout, I drink water (that's ALL I drink). But nothing happens. Then the week OF her visit I drop a pound of two (maybe) and thats it until she leaves... then its back to business as usual. But man, this stinks!

    I am so thankful for MFP and these forum posts, though. Whenever I feel like I am all alone out here, I can search for a topic like this and see that this has plagued many of my sisters in arms out there! lol

    Thanks, ladies!
