Weight gain a week before period?


Quote  |  Reply

i only started getting my period regularly 2 months ago (i'm bulimic so my menstural cycle wasn't regular before that) so this has never happened before but last week i was 124 now i'm 130. there were 2 days where i didn't eat so well but it's impossible to have gained so much. do you think it's my period (my period will start on the 13th)? also when you gain weight on your period does your weight fluctuate or does the number stay the same?

My weight fluctuates 3-5lbs starting before my period and usually for 1 week, then slowly goes back down over 2-4 days.

I'm on mine at the moment and belly is so bloated!! Usually I put on about 3 lbs but I can go up by 7. I'm not drinking enough fluids either as i have a rotten cold. I should be but hey, I don't expect a loss this week.

I usually add 3 pounds (but sometimes up to 6) in the week just before my period. I think much of this is water. My weight goes back down 3rd or 4th day of my period.
