weight gain during period

zeala

So I gained a bunch of weight during my period, but as it's coming to an end, I still don't see the scale going back down( went down a little, but still above from when I first got it)? so now I wonder if I gained actual weight, or if I need to wait longer, another week, for it to go down.

Last week had mine and I had gained three pounds. I was done, still had those three pounds, but this morning (5 days after last day of period) those three pounds plus one are off!!! Remember sometimes we retain water... Give it time

I usually weigh 3-4 days after TOM leaves. Usually he takes the water weight plus more with him! lol

this is why I try not to weigh myself during TOM. Wait a few days after it is over and you should see the numbers go down.
