Who else puts on few pounds at ov time?

[keepthefaith]

Hey I've noticed last few days that I've gained a few pounds yet not changed diet or exercise! Bit annoying but assured it is cause of ov! Anyone else have the same happen? Hoping next week to lose it all again!

I can't speak to that happening around o time for me, but I always gain 2-3 pounds the week before or the week of AF. I always lose it a day or two after AF ends.

I wouldn't worry about it! I was always told that it is normal for weight to fluctuate 2-3lbs anyway.

I always fluctuate by 2-5lbs over the course of a cycle, though I think I'm usually heaviest after O, not before. But not sure as I try to avoid obsessive scale use. It is normal to fluctuate like that and I'm sure some other women are heaviest at O.

I do get super hungry starting several days before O with a particular craving for cheese, but only on the LE diet. If I don't satisfy my cravings I get extremely nauseated and even light-headed. So maybe it's swaying related? I believe in listening to my body so it's possible I gain weight around O while swaying. But I would not worry about short term cyclical weight fluctuations, regardless.
