Tighter around my monthly cycle

Has anyone else noticed that their band seems to get tighter around the time of their periods? I also notice it when it is humid out. Sometimes it tightens so much that I can only have liquids and this will last for a few days. I was just curious to see how many other women have experienced this and if they notice as much of a difference as I do during this time. By the way I am filled to 8.5cc out of a 10cc band. Thanks for your input! :mad2:

Yes most definately!! I have a time in the middle of the month when it loosens right off, and then just before TOM it tightens right up again!

I also find that flying and warm weather can make it tighten up, but not as noticably as TOM, it makes it a bit tricky when you are looking for the sweet spot, if I had good restriction in the middle of the month then I would be too tight at the end!

Its great being a woman isnt it!!

Yes! For me, it is the week after my period ... very noticeable difference ... loosens up the week of, then very tight, then back "normal." I've been tracking it for about 3 months now ...

Yes, I am definitely tighter when I am on my period. It is nice to lose weight during that time of the month. It is a good change.
