    I would wait a week until after it is over. I got my period last Saturday, it was over by Thursday and today my weight is finally back down to normal from the 6 pounds of water I put on.

    Give it a couple days. The water I retain during that time usually isn't completely gone until 2-3 days later (providing I don't eat a lot of sodium).

    Figure it out yourself by keeping track for a few days. Everybody is different.
