Gained 10lbs in 5 days during PMS - is this normal?
Post Body

Maybe this is the wrong sub, so please let me know if I should direct this question elsewhere. Iโ€™ve always been in pretty good shape and have stayed active with a healthy diet and within a good weight range for my height (Iโ€™m 5โ€™5โ€ and normally sit around 125lbs). But since Iโ€™ve turned 30 years old, I notice my weight will fluctuate big time during PMS/Menstruation. Usually 3-5 days before my period my weight will jump up to 135lbs sometimes even 140lbs. Iโ€™m pretty sure itโ€™s just water weight, but it sucks to have all my clothes no longer fit and feel like Iโ€™m continually gaining weight despite diet and exercise. I am on a progesterone supplement for low progesterone, but other than that all my hormone bloodwork comes back normal. For those of you who also bleed monthly, is this normal to be gaining this much water weight around your period? Is this just a fun 30-something thing Iโ€™m dealing with now? ๐Ÿ™ƒ thanks for any & all advice!!
