Many women do weight slightly more during their period because of their tendency to retain more fluid during that time. Making sure you drink plenty of water actually helps prevent the bloating, puffiness, and weight gain. Most often the water weight gain also disappears as soon as your period is over.

Yes, you do tend to weigh a little more during your period due to bloating and water retention. The weight difference is seldom more than a couple pounds.

While this depends on the individual, most weight gain is from water and occurs a few days before you start your period. During this time, your body will typically retain more water.
