Is it normal to gain weight around the time of your period?

Question

I am due to get my period this week. I am dieting and exercise everyday, I went to go weight myself this morning and I have gained 4 pounds. I was just wondering if this due to my period coming this week?

Answer 1

yes of course it's normal its water retention, also for your head to turn 360 degrees and spew green vomit, to have spots like mount Vesuvius to torture your boyfriend in cruel and unusual ways, eat three tons of chocolate then cry uncontrollably all of these things are perfectly normal at least to my experience and I'm a man!

Answer 2

It is so common that most woman suffer from weight gain before a period is due.

It is caused by your body collecting extra fluid and not expelling it as it should every day.
Woman also suffer from an extreme form of extra fluid collecting called oedema.
And that the period (this is gross) blood does weigh extra.
It's all to due with those wonderful hormones.

The extra weight will go as soon as your period is finished.

Answer 3

Yes its absolutely normal. Its called waterweight. Your body starts retaining water at the start of your period, and then as it ends, you urinate all of it out. You can gain up to five pounds waterweight. There are certain pills which control it, but they are very dangerous and I don't reccomend them. You'll be losing the weight in a few days, who cares! So don't weight yourself again until a day or two after your period ends. I hope that this helped and good luck!

Answer 4

do no longer confuse weight with fat. it is common for women to hold fluid for the time of their era. I benefit as much as 7lb the day my era starts. that's how i realize it is coming as a results of fact i'm so strange. the burden is in simple terms water although and could disappear down the rest room over the subsequent day or 2. in case you attempt to lose fat then do no longer project what the scales say the week of your era as a results of fact this water benefit will cancel out the burden of any fat you have lost. stick to your weight-help plan and the week after the scales will tutor a stable weightloss.

Answer 5

Weight gain due to fluid retention is normal during the menstrual cycle.

Answer 6

yes, menses cycle is lunar cycle 28 days cycle, the movement of moon effect the earth people and water bodies on the earth. during the full moon the sea tide is highest. height of tide increases and decreases according to size of the moon. According typology , the Creator has created various groups of people who have similar features, body structure , similar mind and similar physical disorders. there is one group called Lunar these people are basically are round all over like round face ,round body structure protruding eyes ,bridge of nose have down ward convex curve, these people get effected by humid and damp climate and their body tissues absorb water very quickly. normally they suffer asthma and their body swell up with retention of water and they feel very heavy during this water retention, during full moon but as the moon start becoming smaller body tissues will water leave the water and they feel thin again. if any body is interested in knowing something more about typology is welcomed, can send email
so dear water retention during menses make you feel heavy
it is true that we are earth people every thing around us effect us , even if are living close to still water during full moon you will heavy, so look out in the night and see the size of moon and your body
