Weight loss

I have been loosening weight when I have my periods. Is this normal. About 5-8 pounds. But some cases 10lb. Should I be worried?

If you're really losing and not gaining back you must be so thin. It's normal for the body to increase a few pounds before a lot of times because we crave salt which retains water in the body. During a period many bloat adding weight then when it's done that water weight, blood and bloat go down. I fluctuate 5 lbs or so. I have an irregular period so seeing a few pounds go on is sometimes a clue for me that I'm going to start soon. If you're truly losing fat or muscle mass and losing 5-10 with each period you must be really thin and I'd see a doctor since you can keep losing like that.
