Does your weight vary with your monthly cycle?

Just wondering if anyone has done an in depth study on this. Sometimes my weight fluctuates a few pounds (within a few days) not related to diet or salt intake.

    I have been at this for 8 weeks and I notice that the week of AF I normally have a very small loss or a very small gain. So far with the two applicable weeks one was a .2lb loss and was a .2lb gain. Very frustrating, but at least I can contribute it to something and I normally have a big loss the following week.

    I retain 4 pounds without fail every TOM cycle.

    Sorry if this is "TMI" but I got my period today and am down by two lbs already. I hadn't been keeping tract of it and was worried that I was gaining for no reason. Ugh!!

    Thanks all!!

    Same here, supposed to start on the 2nd and for 5 days prior I'm anywhere from 3-10 lbs up, it's sucky but goes away after one day or so of Aunt Flow, yay us, lol.
