A member asked:
Can you gain weight while ovulating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You can gain weight anytime during the menstrual cycle. If you asking if ovulation can cause weight gain, then the answer is sort of. After you ovulate you produce more Progesterone which leads to retention of water (bloating) which can cause a woman to gain some weight. This weight will be lost with the end of the cycle when progesterone levels reduce back to normal.
