Good grief, lady!! KEEP YOUR A$$ AWAY FROM THE SCALE for the whole week around TOM!!!!! Yes that kind of fluid retention is possible. I can EASILY fluctuate 5 pounds around TOM.

That is the one week that I have no problem not weighing!

Have you been taking supplements? I ask because you didn't mention...

I would also recommending upping your B complex vitamin intake and evening primrose supplements - they will help tremendously with TOM and fluid retention.

Everything is fine. Now is NOT the time to stress yourself even more! Take a chill, sister. You're right on.
