Women- how much weight do you gain during your period and when do you lose it?

1. Not how women work

2. I have mirena so I don’t get periods.

3. Maybe a few pounds, and it goes away pretty quick once the flow is done.

5. Anywhere between two to five pounds or so. It usually comes off a few days after it starts.

6. I don’t gain weight during my period.

7. I’ve never even considered it

8. Maybe a couple pounds from bloat up until last year.

   Suddenly lost weight & got diagnosed with chronic GI issues. Now I struggle with weight gain in general.

   I just wanna be THICC again 😭

9. I probably gain maybe 5 pounds and get pretty bloated a few days to a week before my period. I start to debloat the second day of my period and go back to my regular size.

10. I gain like 3-5 pounds and then the next week it’s gone

12. Maybe two pounds. Less than the change between a big meal and a big shit.

    I don’t weigh myself often enough to know when it drops off; that way lies madness.

13. I normally gain 2-3 lbs, and I feel like it comes and goes differently each month.

14. Maybe 5lbs give or take, but it’s always water weight as well as bloating. It’s usually gone by the next few days after it stops.

15. I didn’t even know this was a legit thing. This happens to me quite often now that i think about it. Just last period i was kicking myself for thinking I gained the weight during the holidays.

16. Idk I don’t weigh myself that often 🤷‍♀️

17. I may gain 1-2 of bloat weight, especially if I give in to the sugar cravings, but usually I gain nothing. Then I lose it when I stop being a sugar monster.

18. Not a clue. That’s not something I concern myself about.

20. So my doctor says that most women gain 2-9lbs on their period then it goes away

21. I gained anywhere from 3 to 9 pounds in the week leading up to my period, and drop it all between day 3 and 5.
