YesI always feel bloated in my tummy around ovulation time. It lasts a day or two then goes away. I get bloated again at pms time too. I am finding watching sodium intake is helping at least some.

I totally gain water weight around ovulation. I feel so bloated and big every month. After ovulation I tend to pee it all out, but by the time my period hits, I'm bloated again for about two days, then out it goes again.

This being a woman is tuff stuff!!

Hang in there Joni! If you are using the food tracker, you can add sodium as one of the nutrients that you want to track. It's amazing how our bodies can retain water and flucuate so much.

Keep drinking your water! I know it can be frustrating. Keep doing the right things and the rewards will show up when you least expect it. Remember to have fun along the way too! Too many changes at once can cause burn out and frustration too quickly. Let me know if you have any questions along the way.

Be well,
Kelly

I am sure that its possible to retain water while ovulating. Also maybe reveiw your diet in the last little while, some foods have alot of sodium that we don't realise is there, and that will make you puff up real bad. Just check all your labels to see the percentage of sodium, processed foods, like the microwave 'healthy' dinners are extremely high too! Hope that helps a little.

I know that a lot of women gain water weight around their periods but do you think it is possible to gain/retain some during ovulation?

My fertile days were Sunday to today and I woke up so puffy this am i couldnt get my rings off. Plus I gaine 0.8 lbs at WW tonight after working out 6x this week and burning over double the cals I had been burning! I am so frustrated!
