    If you don't gain and loose weight with your periods...you suck and I want to be you. Weight fluxuation is completely normal but it should only be between 1 and 3 lbs of mostly water weight.

    It's not only possible- it's very very common. During your period, and can become bloated, and retain water. I've had friends who have gained up to about 7 pounds. The most I've ever gained is about 4. It varies for everyone, as cramps do. Hope I helped!

    I get so bloated and I retain water. It's most likely normal that you gain weight. I usually gain 3-7 pounds :( I hate it so much! but what woman likes it?

    Ugh, I gain about 5 every month, and lose it about a week afterwards. Feels terrible lol because all my clothes are a bit tight.

    yep, it's not only possible but very likely that weight will be gained, due to the hormones i think, you also store water too.

    my weight increases by 3 - 6 lbs and i get very bloated too

    Yes its possible, every month for most women and its quite simply a bit of water retention. No idea why realy but mother nature will have her reasons.

    I've fluctuated 5 pounds or so.
