I have a question for women in pre-menopause...do you also get the feeling that your uterus is huge once a month? I gain 3-4 lbs every time this happens !

    I don’t feel my uterus is huge but yes, nearly every woman who deals with a menstrual cycle will gain weight around TOM, and some even around their ovulation. It’s water weight and will go away by the time it ends.

    It's not your uterus, per se, just water retention.
    For me it got worse before menopause and lasted a bit longer.

    yeah it last longer for sure! I gain 3-4 lbs and keep it on for 2-3 weeks even though I eat my calories permitted only and then POOF, it goes back down....I was just wondering if the sensation of the uterus becoming bigger was just me!
    thanks!

    My belly felt fuller, but not my uterus.
