I've heard some women say that they gained weight when they were taking birth control, but it depends on the birth control you are taking.  Ask your doctor.

I am going to offer a different aspect to this. I am wondering if you gained a pound and wodnering why it happened? I may be wrong, but here goes. Your weight can fluctuate naturally due to things like water weight, and 1 pound in a day could be just that. Or if your scale is one that rounds, it may be not a full pound, but it rounded up to one.

What most women don't know is the week before our period we tend to eat more for a reason, during our period it is natural for us to lose up to 5 pounds so in preparation for that weight loss our body intakes more food so that it will not lose too much of its reserve. It is something that is natural and that is why we tend to want more to eat the week before and go back to eating more "normal" the week of that is also why it is a really bad idea to start a diet the week before your period is due the best time to start is actually the week after.

The move you made was it to a different altitude? Changes in altitude can cause changes in menstrual flow(seriously). Stress can do it too. I would go get a blood test for pregnancy asap because it could be a multitude of things from the very serious to nothing at all, but blood work would atleast rule out the ones you should be most worried about. In the mean time try to relax. The three to five pounds could also be from stress as well think about the way you eat during finals time(lol, i gained 8 in two weeks). Good luck to you I hope you get the results you are hoping for.

You are not alone... I get the same problem. About a week before my period starts, I get very emotional- I cry about everything and get pissed off over nothing. My legs and thighs feel sore and crampy, I get a migraine and I get nloated like a swollen pig. I think its just normal for some people. I even think the it is hereditary.

I don't think you loose weight when your period starts, you can gain weight though. Anyway you should start now looking at your lifestyle and diet habits, I don't want to lecture you sweetheart but cutting out junk food and taking up exercise may be a good idea at this time in your life

You need to start drinking at least 6 glasses of water everyday! Then you can loose that gained weight with ease! Exercise and diet also help, too!

Most women will most definitely gain weight on DEPO. Those who didn't usually have an extremely high metabolism and the weight gain is canceled out as it happens, or they have extremely healthy living factors ie: exercising at least 4-5 times a week and eat healthy. Other than that if your not keeping up and maintaining health, you will gain weight. The amount depends on your body and there is no way to tell in advance. Good Luck!

absolutely. it can vary by 5lbs daily on it's own for anyone. a lot of it is based on how much salt you had in your diet, causing retention. but yes having your period can cause bloating and retention as well.\n\nalso known as "pre-menstrual water retention". \n\nPremenstrual water retention is a common phenomenon associated with the menstrual cycle. Water retention is most noticeable for its temporary, but uncomfortable, enlargement of the breasts. The excess fluid is lost during menstruation

Without taking a form of hormonal birth control,only time will tell. Gaining weight isn't a healthy option. Maybe try a push up bra instead.

You actually gain weight. When I started taking birth control i gained about 15 lbs all in my boobs and butt. I went from almost filling an A cup to almost filling a C cup. And I went from a size 0 to a 3/5. My mood swings also increased during PMS. But the great thing is it increased my sex drive, especially right before my period.

Water retention which usually takes places just before menstruation.

I know when I'm getting my period because about a week before, I go through a sort of "heat" phase, where I want sexual contact and a lot of it.  I know to avoid any contact during this time because it's not safe.  Also, about two days before my period starts, I get really weepy.

You might not necessarily gain weight, but your body certainly becomes more "womanly" and "curvy" - you lose the little girl look.  I'm not sure why this happens.

No way to measure normalcy in your period.  You didn't say how old you are?  I agree you need to see a doctor.  It's just a pain in the rear to have a 10 day period, ugh.
