TOM - Anyone feel different to the norm?

Curious to know if many others find their weight to be light at TOM... I find im heavier mid-cycle with uncontrollable cravings. This seems to be quite the opposite to what I read on here!

It rarely affects me either way.

I do feel my mood shift, but food and weight wise, it doesn't seem to change much these days.

HOWEVER when I ate a lot of starchy carbs, it didn't do me any favours and I retained heaps of fluid and craved sugar even more. Reducing my overall sugar has made everything so much better.

Pre Tom heavy mid Tom lighter. Mid cycle heavy and bloated at ov time. Everybody different though

My weight always remains a bit higher than usual the days leading up to my TOM, then sharply drops the day I start. I'm on the pill, so I've been putting it down to the pill making me hang onto water while I'm on it, which I lose when I have my week off the actives. At least a lower weight gives me something to smile about while I'm on the rag!

I find that I'm a bit heavier a day or two before my TOM, but only slightly. Just water weight, I figure. I usually don't notice that it's gone until a day or so after my visitor leaves.

My weight gain is mid-cycle during ovulation rather than during the 6-7 days of CSI blood testing.

For the last two months it's when I finally lose weight! It's strange, but the weight stays off afterwards, so I'm thrilled.

True fact: While being on TOM the avg female can gain up to 1-6 pounds due to water retention and bloating.

But if you keep up your habits, even with filling your cravings the weight stops bouncing around.
