Is it common to put on a couple of pounds when you're on your period?

It's called being bloated. It's extra water in you that will subside when your period is over. Wear some comfortable clothes and you'll be o.k.
Not to Fret!

It's completely normal...most women will gain from 1 -5 lbs, drink MORE water and limit your salt intake and try to move a little bit.
It's just bloating and you should lose the weight after you are done with your period.

so many women do find they experience some sort of weight gain. Specific symptoms can include abdominal bloating, water retention, slight swelling of breasts, and food cravings. All of these can result in you gaining extra weight.

I think so..
I try to limit my food,stay away from the sweets and find that it helps. Alot of what you gain during your period is fluid
