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.

I've been on Novelon for the last four years, and before I started taking it, I rarely had period cramps. But now, after starting it, I began to experience them, and for the last 23 months, the pain's been so bad that I've had to take painkillers. Is this due to Novelon, or are these just normal period cramps?
