When you get through the "early Induction blues" it will probably be just-in-time for your TOM (time-of-the-month). You did mention that it was nearing? Well, right before, during, and after, DO NOT STEP ON YOUR SCALE! For me, before, during, and just after, I put on 2-3 lbs. It's all water retention and it all disappears, but it can be VERY discouraging to the uninformed. I've also seen other posters experience 5-10 lbs. weight gain. Other posters have reported a little whoosh after their TOM (although I have yet to experience this same whoosh). Happy LCing! You will feel much better soon!
