How much weight gain before period?

[SnotRags]

How much weight gain do you tend to have before your period and when does it normally occur?

My weight has gone up around 3lbs. I’ve started with the headache and boob pains which suggests to me that I’m about a week off - but Fitbit says I’m due to start tomorrow?

I’m too scared to weigh myself when it happens so I’m not sure. I also get weight gain mid-cycle when ovulating (along with pain and bloating). Sorry I’m
no help but will watch other replies with interest.

Just hoping it is period weight and not fat! 😫

My fitbit always tracks my period wrong so I never follow that. I always gain 2 or 3 pounds the week before

A couple of lbs here too & same as PP when ovulating too

I used to gain a pound or two in the few days before my period, and by about day 3 of the period it had gone again. But since I’ve been eating more healthily, and low calorie, this time my weight didn’t go up at all, and I’ve not had any cramps either, which is a bonus. I read an article last night about a study into symptoms, and it did say that eating less sugar, salt etc improved them. Something to do with inflammation.
