Menstrual issues and Weight?

Hey MFP, might be a somewhat personal topic so be warned, haha.
I know that the week before menstruation can cause you to gain water weight/bloat, and maybe some get that during their menstruation week? I was just on my first month of the pill after stopping it for a while, and it caused me to "spot" for a few weeks and made me feel crampy and bloated etc.. I'm curious if that could have an effect on the scale number or inches. It's not technically my "week" but i'm still spotting and uncomfortable.

Sorry for the TMI, i'm just curious! Thanks so much for the help.

    If you felt bloated, you probably were. Hooray for hormones! Sigh.

    Hope they regulate for you quickly!

    I just started a new pill also. I've been spotting and just generally feeling pretty yucky. I hope things level out for you quick. I think it messes with our weight, mine has been all over the place.

    Thanks for the input you two :) Yeah i've been up and down around 2 lbs every few days and i know it's not fat, so i'm assuming spotting can affect it by that much. You're right, yay hormones!
