Okay ladies it's that "time of month" again! I was wondering if any of you gain weight during it and about how much you gain? Just wondering, because I think my weight gain may be too much! Thank you in advance :)

    Omgosh! That's EXACTLY me and I was thinking it was to much as I've asked some co-workers and they say 1lb or maybe 2. But I BLOAT up around 5 to 8 pounds! Thanks so much :)

    I gain anywhere between 3 to 5 pounds!! It's normal to gain from water retention due to your cycle! Funny V44V!!

    I find I gain weight in the 5 days immediately prior to the start of my TOM, it stays with me and then goes after TOM. I guess we are all different in the way that our bodies respond!

    I don't really gain any weight, just get a bit bloated.

    Not much at all actually, goes away after the third day for me. I don't really give into cravings though, I just exercise more than usual.

    I always gain 2-3 pounds. I will take a water pill if I feel "terrible". Whenever AF is over, I'm back down, sometimes even less. I hate AF!!!!!

    I usually gain 2-3 pounds but it disappears after a few days. The weight doesn't bother me as much as the bloat. Blah.

    It's amazing how true that is. Some people will joke or admonish saying 'You should know already' but it's not something I really track and only think about it when I notice it. That's one of the reasons I'm logging weight even if it is TOM so I can look back. I think I gain a couple pounds, but not more than 5.

    Yeah man, I don't know if I gain during it - but how much bigger I look and feel is such a bummer.

    Does anyone know if midol helps handle this? their adds say it treats bloating. that seems to good to be true.

    I gain, though I don't know how much as I've not weighed. I seem to gain around 2 inches on my waist and maybe an inch on the bust, which goes down about 2 days in. I usually find just before I start I get really down about having plateaued and being all fat, then a few days later I make a huge leap down in size/weight, then plateau again for the next month.

    You are probably just retaining water. The bloating some experience is from retaining water. You will find it goes away soon after that lovely monthly experience leaves you.

    and once you think you've figured it out, it all changes. I thought my sister was teasing me when she told me that, but as usual, Big sister knows...

    I too have the mirena, so not much of a period. Prior to kids, I would gain a MINIMUM of 5 lbs and eat like a horse, that's not even including the cravings!

    I used to get mega cravings and eat more, but the last couple of months its not been too bad since ive been more consistent with taking evening primrose oil
