And how many days before TOM does weight start going up for you?

I've only been at this for a month, so I don't have a pattern yet, and I think I am starting to freak out a bit.

    Depends, sometimes I notice a slight rise in weight a few days before, but by the first actual day, I can be up a pound or more. During the week I can go up 3 or 4 pounds, it just depends. I don't let it bother me, because I know what's causing it, and it always comes back off in the weeks that follow.

    Don't freak out, it's normal. :tongue:

    I can be up as much as 5 lb. by Day 1 and it stays right there through the whole week. It generally takes 4-7 days (so, the entire week AFTER my period) for me to get back to pre-period weight. It's so dang depressing.

    I do not weigh myself right before and during. I know that the scale is misleading and more likely to be upset with my hormonal state of mind.
