Is it normal to gain weight before your period?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes, it’s common to weigh a little more before your period. It’s usually temporary water retention and bloating, and often settles once your period starts or ends.
Your hormones can make your body hold on to more water before your period, so the scale may tick up and your clothes may feel snugger. Changes in appetite or digestion can add to the feeling, too. It’s usually a temporary fluctuation, not lasting weight gain.
