    I'm probably the only woman here that doesn't experience any of this...I don't even get cramps. In case anybody asks, yes I'm an adult. I'm 26 lol.

    I actually don't get cramps either; not even mood changes. Maybe slight back pain on day 1 or 2 at times. The only reasons I even noticed I gain during ovulation were due to my daily weigh ins and my abs are slightly less visible at that time. I can't actually feel that bloat and my clothes fit just the same. It's just annoying that it happens because of my fitness goals.

    The more I weight lift, the better my musculature, the easier my period symptoms have become

    Progressive resistance does seem to help in balancing hormonal fluctuations and extremes

    this is such an interesting post - i gained 8lbs last week - cried every day... then i thought hold on a minute, yep its ovulation week. im hoping i lose some of it this week. it was a tough cookie to get my head around, especially when that 8lbs eradicated all my hard work for 4 weeks, i swear im still traumatized now

    A few pounds, maybe up to 5. I'm not sure cos I don't weigh myself during my period, I don't see the point. If it really bothers you then hold off until it's finished.

    I gain about 3-5 lbs, and I also tend to eat more during TOM.

    I don't even look at the scale around that time, just because I know it's lying to me!
