I have the same mid-cycle experience. I actually seem to weigh a bit less right before/at my period.

Thanks, will try this! I def have the bloat right in front.


Midol is simply aspirin and caffeine. This is bizarre medical advice.


And caffeine is a diuretic... Makes perfect sense.

Yes. I usually gain a few lbs before my period. By day 2 or 3 it's usually gone.

Op here. Me too. Noticeable so I make sure to wear clothes that disguise the area. Although it's probably not something people would really notice but makes me a bit self conscious!

That happens to me more mid month when I ovulate--wondering of anyone else notices that too? Wonder what the reason is...

Yes, about 5 lbs, and I'm normally 115, so it's a decent percentage.

Definitely shy away from high sodium foods b/f your period too. Salty foods help you retain more water.


Yeah, but that's all I want right before my period.

Seems like I always weigh 2-4lbs more in the couple days leading up to my period, even though I continue to eat healthy and exercise. Is this water retention?
