    Water retention and bloating. It's pretty common, so try not to let it stress you out.

    Happens to me every month. It's not fat. Don't worry, it'll go down in a day or two.

    Because you had a period. For me it was 3-5Lbs just before (that lasted 5-7 days) and 2-4 at ovulation. Google it. Look on here. It's normal. Check you weight daily for a few months and you'll see some amazing trends!

    For me, the heaviest flow day, and around green week.

    Don't weigh yourself during your period if it bothers you. I weigh myself once a month at best.

    Usually 1-2kg for me. Disappears 2 days after.

    I gain a few days before, steadily go up each day, then on day one or two of my period will have a big drop in weight. Doesn't bother me. I like it actually because it helps me anticipate my period.
