Fluid retention: Fluid retention occurs in the premenstrual phase of your cycle and is more pronounced in some women than others and can vary by several pounds. If this is a problem for you, avoid using salt as much as possible in the week before your period. Some women are prescribed diuretics in that timeframe as their fluid retention is quite problematic.
