I have never had water cloat/weight...ever. Or not that I can notice. I do fluctuate by 3-5 lbs over the course of my cycle but no fast changes within days. I can imagine that would be upsetting! Glad you're feeling better and having a normal AF.

My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1
- swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

Lucky you!! It's normal for me but a little high this month....usually it's in the 1-2lb range, so 3lbs isn't making me very happy!
AF is 'thinner' too, I'm usually clottier than this. I wonder if that means anything.Me (38) and DH (38)

I've always had a fair bit of variation in the department. I THINK maybe my heavier flow AFs tend to be clottier, but not always. I've never actually discussed the details of AF with anyone so much! I find it all really interesting though. And especially that you notice consistency in your clottiness. I wonder what it means that I don't? Maybe it's just bc I'm generally a bit variable? I wonder what's 'normal'. I may also have a clotting issue bc there is a strong family history of stroking and I myself had a mini stroke on the Patch.
I do think it's possible that Femara could affect the clottiness, bc estrogen affects clotting. So I'd probably chalk it up to that.

Oh well I'm always worrying about something, LOL.
Meh I'm sure it probably really doesn't mean that much. Especially as I'm not on any blood thinners.Me (38) and DH (38)
