Suddenly "gained" 4lbs due to menstrual cycle. Is this normal?

SW: 151 lbs | CW: 117.2 lbs | GW: 110 lbs. | Height: 5'1"

Hi guys. My weight loss journey started back in May of 2022 when I reached an all-time high weight of 151 lbs. Got really serious and started doing CICO, tracking my calories and following along to Fitness Blender YouTube workouts when I could. I'm also a single parent to a now 2 year old. It's been close to two years since I've had a period thanks to birth control completely stopping it. I've gotten as low as 113 lbs, as of last week. I was elated because I was so close to my goal weight.

Now all of a sudden, I'm weighing in at 117.2 this morning. I also started my first period in a long, long time. I'm cramping, bloated. But I have no appetite, I'm literally forcing myself to eat and drink water because the thought of it is making me nauseous.

Is it normal to suddenly put on 4 pounds of what I'm assuming is water weight and retention due to my period? I'm hoping it will just shed and fall off by this time next week, but I'm also feeling kind of defeated and annoyed, like all of my hard work wasn't worth it (which I know isn't true). Just looking to see if this has happened to anyone else! Thanks!
