Answers:
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.

also known as "pre-menstrual water retention".

Premenstrual 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

Other Answers:
When women are on their period, they retain water, that is why they get the bloated feeling.

It is normal and it will pass.
Water retention, definitely!
She's probably just bloated and has a lot of water weigh. Or had some major cravings and stuck in some junk food.
