how can I be gaining weight?

My period is not due until the middle of April. I have gained two pounds on my plateau of March 15th through present. I am being good, and only eat if I'm hungry. Some days I'm able to eat chicken and salad, other days just a little cottage cheese and soup. Why am I gaining weight? Really scared.
