I generally make it a rule not to weigh myself 3 days before or into my period, but out of curiosity, I did this morning. Of course, I was a bit bummed out to see I was 3lbs heavier than my last check-in....

3-5 lbs. is normal for me. Then it goes as quickly as it came, thankfully.0

Four pounds, last time I checked. Two options I would recommend:
1. If normal fluctuations are going to bother you, don't weigh yourself until it's over. Or...
2. Weigh yourself every day to see how your body responds to different situations. It may be easier to accept if you can see what's happening.0 -
That's normal and about the same as me, but I am sure everyone is different. Don't let it get you down though, once you are over it you should be at the weight you were before or even less.0

Mine fluctuates a LOT. Sometimes I won't gain anything, and there have been times where I've gained almost 10 pounds. My TOM just ended yesterday, and I had gained (and now have lost) 4.3 pounds.0

Enough to not want me to step on the scale.
Around 2-3 pounds.0 -
3-5. But I can also vary 2-3 day to day other wise...0

Really annoying if you ask me.0 -
3-10 pounds. It usually is gone within a week of it ending.0
-
about 3 pounds0

None, but I do get super bloated and my pants all get tight... i don't even understand that! haha0

Now that I've lost the weight, it's around 3 lbs. When I was heavier it was anywhere from 5-7. My doctor even gave me a prescription for diuretics for those days! I may use one every few months now if I feel really really bloated and yucky. My problem now is, I've got early onset of perimenopausal symptoms. . . Since May, I've been having a period every 10-12 days! Yippee!!! So my weight has been all over the map. This is the 1 thing I've not liked about being 40 thus far! :-)0

3-5 pounds. It sucks, but it kinda feels good afterwards when you can fit into your pants again. LOL0

i'm up .9 on my 2nd day:( but, i knew better than to weigh myself! i have ballooned up as much as 7 lbs--which has fallen right off after i stop retaining water! for realsies!0

I gained 7 last month for about a week and a 1/2, then it went back down a little lower thanI started. I was shocked, that was way more than I ever had gained overnight from water weight. But this month it's only 3. Last month I think it has something to do with what I ate the day before, combined with the bloating/water weight.0
-
3-50
-
Generally 4 pounds0
-
I gain anywhere from 3-6 lbs more if I am eating salty foods.....just retains so much easier seems like during this time:(
I also heard that this is the best time to lose weight through exercise and eating right....for some reason you can burn more idk how that works sorry lol but I do know working out can help lose the bloat and other pms symptoms0 -
3-5 lb0
