Menstrual weight gain?

Question

i've been on a healthy diet and exercise a lot,

but how come even though i've been watching my calorie intake,

i gained 3-4 lbs.

but i've been on my period for a week now, and i'm wondering if my period could be the cause of my weight gain?

i've never really noticed that in my past menstrual cycles, but that's probably because i didn't weigh myself as much.

and since the diet, i have a really small flow, and no cramps.

i used to have really strong cramps, but no cramps.

Answer 1

when your on your period your body retains water (which makes you bloat) this could be why....

Answer 5

This is perfectly normal. Every girl goes through this stage. Dont worry it is perfectly normal! If you are really worried, go see a doctor about the problem. But trust me, its fine!

Answer 6

before and during the menstrual cycle a woman can gain up to 7lbs don't worry its perfectly normal, it will probably disappear itself.
