How much do you gain while on your period?

3-5 pounds...SUCKS!!!!!

usually right around 3 lbs, sometimes a little less or a little more.

I gain anywhere from 2-5lbs. (I switched birth control last year to an IUD which has made a significant improvement over the 8-10lb fluctuations I had before...crazy stuff.)

I gain less if I drink a ton of water (and I'm talking like a gallon a day). I usually lose the weight a few days after my period.

I actually lose more weight on my period than any other time. I am good for a 2 pound loss each time it hits, but then again, my appetite vanishes.

Oooh, me too. Maybe that is why.

I tend to gain about 2-5 pounds when the PMS starts, but I seem to be opposite of most people and I lose my appetite on my period, so I'm usually back to normal in the middle of my TOM.

Same here

I'd say 3-5 pounds. Though I've also discovered I'm quite sensitive to extra sodium in my diet, and my cycles are not regular. I'm just going based off the last 2 months which have mostly been regular (*knock on wood*).
