Do you lose weight after your period?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's normal to have some weight gain before or during your period due to hormonal fluctuations, water retention and food cravings. Generally, it will go away a few days after your period starts which seems like you lost weight after period.

Periods are dependant on hormones and every month period date may change slightly based on the hormone variations. For this reason, if next cycle starts from 28 +/- 7 days from the first date of last menstrual cycle then it is considered a normal cycle.
