Is it normal to gain weight on the last day of your period? i usually lose 2 pounds during but seem to gain weight immediately after or on last day.

Fluid retention: Hormonal changes occurring during your menstrual cycle may induce sodium and therefore fluid retention, which is also lost just as quickly.

Common: This has to do with hormonal changes. The weight gain is primarily fluid.
