How much do you gain on your period?

Because I seem to be 123-125, so does that mean when it's finished I'll be lower?? Also, do you get flabby and look fatter than before because of water retention? My stomach's blasted and wobbly, as is the rest of my body.

    I gained 6 pounds with my last one but I'm on a new bc so I'm not sure if it was just that. As soon as I finished I started drinking more water (I just can't stand the feeling of drinking anything when I'm on mine) and it felt like the weight just fell off. So I'm guessing it was bloating and just not drinking much to balance anything out.
    I don't get "flabby" but I have the food baby look, just a rounder stomach. That passes as soon as I can drink water again.

    Like, 5 pounds. It's nice tho, because then it feels like I lost a bunch when I'm done. I'm gonna start using more period-symptom controlling herbal cures soon, so maybe that will change.

    Typically 3-4 pounds of water weight gain.
