stupid question.. but weight and periods?

[quaranta]

'normal' periods new thing for me i am only just getting back a cycle as had my ds followed by 7 months of bad experience with the coil.

BUT anyone else find they put on weight during a period? period started thurs. i weighed myself and am 4 lbs heavier than normal - not noticed anything else other than rather bloated.not been eating much more than normal. definitely not muscle weight gain as NO exercising either! anyone else find this

bump!

I go to a diet class. I was weighed on 14th of February and stopped going. Was weighed again on 10th of April and i was down a pound from last weigh in. So thats good.

Went on Thursday and i have put on 4lbs in one week!! I have my period so yep i think you can put on weight when you are on.

it is really odd. would be interested to kno why - suppose it is water retention but never really had any symptoms with periods other than a bit of pain. thanks!
