Default Should I even bother weighing myself this week? /:

So, up until this month, I've not had a normal TOM. But I've been on the Pill this month to fix that. I know that when you hit your time, your body retains water, causing weight gain. So..should I even weigh myself this week? And can I take off what I'm supposedly gonna gain?

Everyone is different - I personally do not retain water or gain during TOM, and I am on the pill as well. I say weigh in but take it with a grain of salt just in case.

Same here -- no water retention during TOM. I suggest you weigh yourself every week, whether or not it's your TOM, in order to gain information about your own body and patterns.

Just go ahead and weigh in and remember that if you see a fluctuation it isn't permanent. It happens. Don't get discouraged.

I'd go ahead and weigh. It'll give you a better understanding of your bodies fluctuations so you won't panic when you see a gain
