I am 12 years old and I started my period about 5 months ago and I have noticed just this period that I gained 4 pounds 2 weeks prior and during the period. Is this regular and will it go off? Or is this fat. I have been off my period for three days and nothing has happened to my weight. Will I lose it or will it stay? Hellp!! :confused:

You gain some weight during your period because you are bloated, or retaining water. It is just water weight and usually disappears with your period. :)

Exactly what I was going to input... it's probably just water retention. It will go away!

Avoid caffeine (coca cola ect) and drink more water. Sounds counter-intuative but the more water you drink the less water you retain- the body does work in funny ways...
