My weight is up two pounds from last weekend, and my period is supposed to start tomorrow. can you gain weight while you're pmsing? thanks!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Some of the hormone changes in the menstrual cycle cause water retention in the few days(1-7) before a period starts. This usually goes away after the first few days of the period. Avoiding sodium intake during the premenstrual time can sometimes help minimize the retention.
