Q about bloating weight for the ladies

Ladies, how much (if any) do you gain from bloat during that TOM? Just curious if 6 pounds is normal or a bit high?

I've been downing lots of water or dilute green tea, and I know that it will pass in a few days, but it's still no fun!

    I've seen anywhere from 3-8 - and yes, it sucks! For me, the smaller gains go away in about a week, but the larger can take 2-3 weeks - lots of water and try (if you can) to limit salt...hang in there...

    I used to gain 5+ lbs. I switched to a non hormonal birth control (IUD) and now I only gain 1-2lbs.

    Usually 3-5, but I've gone as high as 7 or 8.

    It goes up slower and then comes off fast.

    It really isn't fun! And it feels so terrible.

    What can you do. Part of the joys of being a woman!! ;)

    Depending on the pill I am taking, it's between 1 and 5.

    Don't weigh during your TOM, that's the only thing to do. Keep logging your food and exercising!

    I don't gain anything but I don't lose anything either.

    I either just don't lose or I'll go up a pound or so. I also go up when I ovulate which is so annoying.
