Some women experience some bloating during their period. Water retention can be increased during this time.
Also, excess amounts of estrogen can cause a rise in appetite (shown in women who take combination contraceptive pills), so you could be eating slightly more during the days you are menstruating.

Ohhhhh yeah!!!
this is very common and is called 'bloating' by some people.
During menstruation there are lots of physical changes going on, and although they vary from woman to woman, these include ~ higher body temperature, bloating, cramps, tiredness and lethargy, difficulty in concentrating, moodiness, depression, and a variety of others!
I think I get most of them, lol ...
Good luck! :-)

You're probably just bloated during your period...it's totally normal. You may want to take a midol or some other pill that relieves bloating.

It's called "bloating" and most women have this to some degree. To help with this you should avoid things like soda and other sugar based foods. Drink a lot of water and try to exercise.

Its normal for the body to retain fluid just prior to and during period time. Most of my friends complain of the same thing, even the boobs tend to swell and sometimes become sore during menstruation. Luckily it all goes back to normal, what amazing bodies we have.
