Water Retention AFTER TOM: question

[Duinai]

Sorry for the female type question... we know... most of us have bloating/water retention problems before of during TOM... but not me. Always had it AFTER TOM. And, I believe, cause I was fat, then I never actually used to pay any attention. Now, my post-period water retention could be about 5 lbs, and its really visible (in my belly, of course!) and normally it takes about a week to get rid of this water

Anybody else here having same problems? Any ideas?

This month was the first time it happened to me. The week before/during I was steadily going down. About the third day in, I started gaining and went up 4 lbs. Of course, I started freaking out about it. By the next week I started going back down again. Now that I know it's a possibility, I'll be okay if it happens again.

Weird how our bodies are all different. As long as you are aware that its happening for you like that, you can prepare yourself for it.
