Weight gain due to water retention?

My periods are getting irregular. Last period was in Oct. For the past two weeks my weight has been going up. Now I'm 6 lb heavier! I can gain up to 5 lb in a day. I'm not eating excessively so guessing it's water weight as my belly feels bigger and my breasts feel tender. I keep on waiting for my period to arrive so this weight gain can disappear. Anyone the same with weight gain/water retention?

I was always like this before my periods before HRT.

@Leftoversgalore how much did you gain?

@BobaTea I don't know, I don't generally weigh myself. But I suppose a few pounds breasts would be massive and bloated stomach.
