Weight Gain w/ Menstral Cycle

[Tam]

I totally bloat the week before.... which happened to be the week we got married, so I pretty much hate every photo of me from the entire trip including the wedding. My DH says he doesn't see it except in my boobs (no complaints there), but I see it/feel it. Never thought of diuretics though....hmmm.

this is what I hate the most!!! and the weight gain can come up to about a week before and stay until a week later. it really suck (sometimes) to be a woman.

I think the water retention is normal....I refuse to weigh myself then but I can tell by the way my clothes fit that I gain a few pounds around then. And the carb craving that I get the week before doesn't help at all either. Blech....
