Weight gain before period!

[Rosemariex]

Hi everyone

When I’m about a week from the end of my pill pack I always feel bigger and moan I’m getting fat!

I know a lot of people say they become bloated but I don’t really have bloat I feel my thighs get bigger and wobble more. Just generally feel heavier and sluggish.

Is anybody else the same it drives me mad I feel like every 3 weeks my body changes and it really gets me down

The joys! X

I also get this. I get a lot of water retention (I'm not on pill).

I find I see less and then I'm permanent desperate the first 2 days as my body seems to let it all go.

I also get constipated which doesn't help.

I've found increasing my water intake actually helps in some ways despite the retention and it lowers period pains.

My arms are naturally quite fat (always had skinny legs!) and that's where I feel it most. I feel like they don't relax by my side properly those few days 🤣

My weight is always at its lowest around day 2/3 of my cycle.

Yep - water retention
