    I stepped on the scale this morning, and there it was, an additional 5 pounds!!! I am glad I saw this thread when I logged on because I was about to lose it!!!

    Mine just started - it was up 2lbs. Today I'm down a lb. I usually finish my cycle at the same weight or a lb below where I started

    Does anyones weight fluctuate during ovulation also?

    I have noticed I 'retain water' around that time... but I'll need a couple more months before I really notice a trend

    I don't weigh myself when that ***** is in town.

    What's the point? She's a party pooper.

    LOL! I think I love you!

    I've been wondering about this. My cycle has been awful lately (as in lasting from 10-30 days, currently on day 26) and I've been holding weight like it's my job. I don't think I can deny the gain anymore! I'm up about 6 lbs since this horrible problem started a few months ago.

    Only about a pound the day before... My weight isn't affected so much by my monthly time (or ovulation, which is worse for me food wise) as it is by the water I drink to hold off the stupid cravings.


    worst time for me also! put on about 3/5lbs normally then loose it a week later...

    I usually don't experience a weight change during my period but when I ovulate it's not unusual for my weight to jump 3-5 pounds. Stupid me though, I'm ALWAYS freaked out about it and it takes a while for it to register that this is what happens monthly!

    I reallyyy bloat, and retain water nearly the entire time. Usually 5-8lbs and it's very, very frustrating!!
