How much weight do you put on around your period?

Having my second fucking miscarriage right now. If it wasn’t a kick in the teeth enough, I decided to hop on the scales for the first time in a couple of months and it was 5kg up. I track my food intake and I haven’t been eating terribly/over eating at all- apart from miscarriage depression pizza last night.

Really hoping some of it is hormonal changes and it will wooosh away.

Sorry about your miscarriage, completely agree forget about your weight and look after yourself.

I am 54 and still having a monthly period, I always gain 3 or even 4 lbs just before my period starts. It goes again when my period has finished. Just eat the best food you can afford, lots of protein, good fats and veg.

I am losing weight, usually around 4 pounds a week, when I'm on though I only lose about a pound or won't lose anything. Sorry for your loss, don't worry about the weight gain, its not much and it'll sort itself out.

😞 so sorry about your miscarriage.

I gain about 1-2 kilo a few days before my period and the weight drops about half way through my period .
