Muscle Water Retention Question

I thought I once read a post on this subject but I can't find it anywhere so I'm hoping Cathe (or anyone else!) wouldn't mind answering this question once again . . . it had something to do with when you first start using weights that your muscles will swell and retain water so you may not see weight loss or loss of inches right away. My questions . . . do I remember this correctly? How long does the initial water gain/retention last? Does it happen every time you change a rotation or up your weights or just when you very first start w/ weights? I started the Pure Strength series about 2 weeks ago after an unfortunate long bout of laziness and don't want to get discouraged if this is the case. Thanks!!
