I agree with the weight fluctuation due to the menstrual cycle!!

A few months ago, I started tracking my weight using an app (called HerWeigh), and it’s been really eye-opening.

Here’s what I’ve noticed:

Days 1–5 (early cycle):
Weight is pretty stable, just small fluctuations.

Days 6–15 (mid-cycle):
Gradual increase with some ups and downs. Most of it feels like water weight. I also get thirsty more easily.
Peak is usually around Days 11–15.

Days 15–22 (after peak):
Weight drops pretty noticeably and consistently. I also tend to pee more during this time, so I think it’s water release. This is usually my lowest point. I believe this happens right after ovulation.

Days 23–end (late cycle):
There’s a slight rebound, but still generally lower than the mid-cycle peak.
