How much of a "gain" do you do you see on the scale when you are on your period?

Or do you gain at all?

I gain around 10 pounds on my period. Whenever I see it, it freaks me out, even though it goes right back down afterwards haha. Just curious if that happens to others to this extent?

    10 pounds? Dang. I don't check the scale much, but i'm pretty sure I have a few pounds on me esp. after I eat, but it goes away thankfully

    I've actually never noticed a huge fluctuation during my period. Not any more than every other week, depending what I eat, etc.

    I've gained like four pounds in the past two weeks, and I'm hoping to be able to blame it on TOM... we'll find out in another couple days!

    But yeah, definitely some weight gain during. :sad:

    wow 10 is a lot...

    are you hydrating more than usual and watching the sodium right before TOM hits?

    that should help a bit (high fiber and exercise too), but still 10? That's quite impressive.. i bet if you ask your mom she'd say she experiences(ed) similar too.

    I stopped weighing myself a long time ago during that time. XD It could be up around 5 pounds.

    About 2 or 3 pounds at the most. Usually I will just plateau for two weeks then lose again. It's odd.

    I gained 4 lbs this time the week before my cycle...I was really bloated and still is...I usually am stuck for two week which only leave two weeks out of the month to lose weight....That sucks so much...Does anyone know what to do about the bloating...I try to drink more water during that time, watch my sodium more and eat a little bit less...

    Don't bother weighing myself, because I'm sure it isn't a pretty number, but I bloat pretty badly. Never used to, before I had a baby. I had great periods with no bloat, no weight gain, no nothing. Stupid post-birthing hormones.. Nature, I suffered for so little tangible reward; ya effed that one up.

    When I was at my higher weight, I put on a good 5-10 lbs. Now I only gain 3-4.
