water weight most likely. before, during, and maybe even slightly after your period some people end up storing more water for the time being.

Hormonal fluctuation cause water retention, which causes weight gain. Women usually gain 3-5lbs or 1.3-2.2kg before their periods.

My first guess is heavier water retention in your pre-menstrual cycles.

Women tend to retain more water at a certain time of the month. I don't know enough when but if they wear rings, there's gonna be tighter at that time of the month. And looser after.

1kg is nothing though. I fluctuate +/-3kg depending on when I weigh myself.

because you're retaining water and eating more foods and more foods that contain sodium

I'm not sure but I think it's called, "bloating".
