Note
One regular -ed spelling does double duty here: the simple past (she regained her balance) and the participle after have (she had regained it). Because regain is transitive, the participle also forms passives: the title was regained, possession was regained. The noun regain, including the weaver's term for the width cloth gains as its fibers swell, has no share in this form.
