Weight Gain/Loss

Ok so I'm only like 5 1/2 weeks and I have added 300 calories to my diet (or as much as possible) and I still exercise.  Why the hell did I just gain like 5lbs in a week? 

Did this happen to anyone else?  i know at some point I'm going to gain weight but not this early right?  (my last kid I only gained 20 lbs the whole pregnancty but I was like 250 lbs when I got pregnant)

Thanks for any suggestions/advice.

Good Morning! Very early on I gaine 5 pounds in what felt like overnight. OB told me that it was an increase in blood volume and extra body fluids. I then ended up loosing 15 pounds in the first trimester and was only up 24 pounds when I delivered.

Oh and I was in maternity pants around 8 weeks because I couldn't button my jeans!

THANK YOU!!!  I was thinking I know I haven't eaten that much!!!!

its water weight and blood volume... your blood volume increases by 50% while pregnant

50%  wow that is alot. 

Maybe that's why no matter what I try I can't seem to shake any weight?! 8dpo - I can test early next week and know for sure.

yay! can't wait until you POAS!

Me!? I can't wait till YOU POAS!

  11 more days for that!  Last AI is tonight!  My luteal phase is only between 10-12 days.  Wouldn't it be cool to get our BFP within a week of each other?  If I do, my approx due date will be 2/14/12!  A Valentine's baby!

not long now till you can POAS  hoping you get a BFP
