How much weight gain is normal during period?

I used to overthink every little fluctuation! But yes, it's very normal to gain about 1-3 kilograms before or during your period. It's mainly water retention and bloating due to hormonal changes. It usually goes back to normal after a few days. Try to reduce salt intake and drink plenty of water to help.

During those days, our body undergoes many changes, and a little temporary weight gain is natural. It's mostly water held by the body. Be gentle with yourself, eat simple, nourishing food, and practice a little meditation if it helps calm your mind. This too shall pass.

OMG, yes! Every single month before my period, I feel so bloated and my scale jumps up by a kilo or two. My friends all say it's normal water weight. It's annoying but usually goes down after a few days. So don't worry!

It's quite normal to gain about 1 to 2 kilograms during your period due to water retention. You can try some simple home tips like drinking ginger tea or having warm water to ease bloating. However, if the weight gain is excessive, persistent, or accompanied by severe pain, please consult a gynaecologist.

My doctor explained that during the luteal phase (the week or so before your period), estrogen and progesterone levels change, leading to fluid retention. This can cause about 0.5 kg to 2 kg temporary weight gain. It generally resolves once your period starts and hormone levels normalize. So it's totally normal.
