It isn't uncommon for someone to gain around five pounds of water weight during, or right before, TOM. Don't worry, it will come right back off when TOM is over :-)

I usually put on 2-3 pounds. Then, about a week afterward, I lose that plus a little bit more.

Just to let you know, you may also find you'll gain the same amount of water weight when you ovulate. This isn't quite as common as the gain during TOM but it does happen, so if your weight inexplicably goes up at another time that could be why.
