    You had your period for ten days? That is very long. I would see a gyno about that if you haven't.

    I'm thinking its water weight. Your period can do that to you, but it seems you're doing a good job eating your calories and drinking plenty of water. I'd wait a few more days and see what happens.

    I gain about 5kg when I have my period. It then comes off again 2 days after my period finishes.

    How often do you weigh yourself? Did you gain weight while being on your period before??

    I usually gain 1 or 1.5 kg but not 2.5!!! I did see a gynecologist and this is because I use IUD as a contraceptive.

    Don't worry , you're not overeating, so it should go soon.

    Are you drinking enough water? It's very hot where you are. Are you using too much salt maybe?? Salt can make you retain water aswell.
