Girl talk

I am sorry for my bitchy humorous comment. From the original post, where she asked "Will it go away", it seemed to me that she didn't understand how the female body worked. My 18 year old daughter has never had a weight problem and never gets on a scale. But even she is aware that her jeans fit a little tighter during her period, and then things go back to normal when her period is over.

I am 50 and perimenopausal. I have yet to experience a hot flash. But I know they exist, I know that it's a common symptom of women going through menopause. It's possible to know about something even if you haven't experienced it.

This thread is just another in a long line of threads asking about water weight gain during a woman's period. The sheer number of women who don't seem to know how their bodies work is frightening to me.
