Default TOM love/hate relationship!!!

Who can get excited about TOM. If I knew a Tom I wouldn't like him just cuz his name is Tom. LOL I hate TOM. BUT the thing you gotta love is the whooshies TOM brings!!! I didn't gain a thing pre TOM so that was good, and 2 days after starting TOM I'm down 3 pounds (that's were the LOVE part comes in)

I hear ya! I think my usual post-TOM "whoosh" is because that's the week I'm not taking my bc Pills. That darn excess estrogen!

TOM is due tomorrow--up 2 lbs this week I know it's not thru fault of my own that I've gained, but I don't have to like it!!

I remember when I was going to get my tubal ligation (3 sons already) and my DH asked me if I would still get TOM after I had it done. When I told him I would his response was, "Well, that's a rip off!" I haven't had to worry about getting pregnant for 6 years now so every month it's an inconvenience more than a relief. Luckily, mine only last 2 1/2 - 3 days so I have it lucky that way and they're quite uneventful. I even forget I have it between bathroom breaks. Not bad...just hate the weight gain that goes with it
