do you retain water when on your period
Best Answer: Yes. I regularly gain about 3-4 pounds right before my period. It's water retention in my case, and for most women. You can correct it by remembering to drink plenty of water in the week or so before your period. This will reduce the weight gain somewhat. You'll probably lose the weight again right away after your period is over. It may be normal for you to retain water during your cycle.
