    Mine fluctuates each month. I have some months where I gain just 1lb then months where I gain 4.

    5-10 lbs, depending on the month. I try to stay away from the scale. It drops off very dramatically over 48 hours at the end.

    Around ovulation I tend to go up 1-3lbs then it drops

    The day of my period I go up 1-5lbs that lasts a couple of days then it drops again

    This is me. I have noticed the increase around ovulation as well. Took me a few cycles to clue into why I was seeing a mid cycle gain. I am happy to see that I am not the only one! Invariably, it happens on a weigh-in day too :P

    Depends on how much chocolate I inhale ;)
    Usually 2-3 lbs but drops back down a few days later.

    Eta: the rest of my post that disappeared.

    Whenever I gain 2-3 lbs overnight with no explanation, I know my period will be starting within a couple of days. That happened Sunday, and sure enough this morning it started. I usually avoid the scale until about 2 days afterwards and then my weight goes back down again.

    I always gain 4-5 pounds on my period but it all goes away the minute my period ends.
    I also eat EVERYTHING on my period including cookies, bread, pudding, Hostess cakes, etc. It never hurts to indulge.

    I usually gain about 5 lbs. But my last period I gained 10 lbs! :o The weight gradually came off but you bet I was stressing because I gained so much weight!

    Well it depended just how *kitten* she got during the TOM. The worse it was the more I ate. ;)
