I'm pretty sure all of us with periods notice weight fluctuations from water and whatnot. What is the very most you've seen your weight go up during your period? I'm curious, so chime in!

I think the most I've gained is about 5 pounds!

    Nothing, it doesn't make me gain. It's the rest of the month that's the problem.

    Really? You've never retained water on your period? You're super lucky.

    I'm so irregular, so I don't know what's going on with my periods have the time. For example, I haven't even had mine for like 4 months. But, I think the most it made me gain was 4 lbs maybe? But, it all goes away at the end of the week.

    I generally seem to lose weight during TOM. I work out harder and try to take diuretics before I start because I know if I don't I'll gain 3 pounds in fluid and it's all in that area right below my belly button.

    Anywhere from 5-7lbs each month depending on my eating habits at the time. :grumble:

    If I DO gain it is only about 1 pound. I never have really gained any before, during or right after but do feel bloated at times.

    At 5 feet 8 and only 112 pounds, it is not surprising you have stopped your petiods. They do stop when you become too light for your body to function properly.

    Yeah, I know. They were pretty irregular before that too. I'm trying to gain weight though so maybe they'll be a little more regulated in the future!

    5-8 pounds and I literally walk around with those extra pounds days before, during, and a few days after my period. Totally sucks! :mad: :grumble: :frown:

    Yikes, yes. Also could be PCOS or something else. If you're going that long without a period it's best to see a doctor.

    I've seen my doctor. She said it's probably because I'm underweight...

    I don't gain any if I keep my eating clean (ie: no processed foods, grains or sugars.)

    Aww, good luck with the gain then! :) I hope you get back your regular periods, even though periods do suck. :laugh:
