Ovulation Weight Gain and Periods

Hi there.

So I lost about 7 pounds in the last 6 weeks, down to 185 pounds at my lowest. Overall in a calorie deficit (I track daily) and cardio/strength exercise routine. I was so happy to finally hit 185! But then I'm in my week 7 now and have gained/plateau'd at about 188 pounds now (up 3 pounds). Ugh!

I had one small cheat day on Sunday, but otherwise have been in a deficit this whole week, so I'm pretty sure I didn't gain 3 pounds worth.

I've started ovulating this week and have heard that women gain water weight during their period, but I'm wondering if it's the same case during ovulation? During my last period, I had a very light one (which was unusual...I'm thinking because of the weight loss?) and I didn't gain much weight. Am I an ovulation-weight-gainer? Is that a thing? I also have been measuring my inches and this week I've gained an inch in my stomach but lost in my hips/chest (bloating perhaps?)

Just looking to hear other experiences from other women. Do you gain weight during ovulation? Do you get lighter periods? Other period advice?

Thanks!
