Is it Common to not see a weight drop

I’ve been holding right at 150.8 then it goes to 150.2 then 150. Within a matter of 4-6 days. I might be due to ovulate or already have. I’m tracking / weighing , measuring everything. Yes I know weight loss isn’t linear just waiting for that to go to the next lb

Weight loss is not linear but I believe fat loss is. If you are in a deficit the results are always around the next corner. It is just hard to know when that corner is going to be from one person to the next.

I have a lot of control over what I eat so I have a pattern that emerged of seeing a new low weight about every 3 weeks. I can almost bank on it... until I can't. Even though that is what is normal for me it isn't a lock for predictability. I was so shocked to see a new low weight earlier this week (way ahead of schedule) I thought something was wrong for a moment. The opposite is more likely though. Not that long ago we had a very negative family event and I went all the way to the top of my fluctuation range because of stress and eating out more. When I do that it takes longer to finally get back down again. I always see my new low eventually because my logging is pretty accurate.

So to answer your question... I have seen enough people come through here asking about this to know this is very common. In fact, it is kind of odd when a person shows up that claims to have lost weight in a more linear fashion for an extended amount of time.
