Yes you are probably retaining water.

yes it is

yeah, water weight.

Yeah, it's normal. It's because of the increase of estrogen levels in your body.

its perfectly normal for you weight to fluctuate anywhere from 2-7 lbs....its water retension

its just water retention thats all.it will go.its normal

normalll... i always think im fat or gain weight days before my menstruation... as i get my period.. the stomach size usually reduced each days...

thats probably all it is, you 'feel' fatter, not that you really are.
plus, around your period you get bloated and get water weight.
your fine, dont worry.

try some midol...it takes away the bloating plus any cramps and icky feelings you get.

Yup, Its water retention and your weight will flucuate 2 -5 lbs. should be back to normal after your cycle.

yes its normal, you are not gaining weight well kida but its just watter weight, so you get bloated

your bloated.

From this site:

"Although you may gain only a few premenstrual pounds at the most, the sudden pressure, bloating and swollen breasts make it feel like much more. This weight gain is due mostly to water retention that occurs when calcium and magnesium levels begin to drop about a week before menstruation. Your problems will be greater if you ingest a lot of salt
