Calling all PCOS sufferers

Hello ladies, was just wanting some advice really. I've just stepped on the scales today and despite having completely lost my appetite since my bfn I've put on 4lbs in a week! How does that happen? Does anyone else struggle with weight & pcos? Could it be a reaction to the IVF drugs...?

Ah your not alone, I have PCOS to and can go to the gym eat clean and still lose nothing. Definitely could be down to the drugs to when I last went for my EC they weighed me and said they couldn't use my weight from my last apt as they expect women to put on weight during IVF x

Oh no! As if PCOS isn't annoying enough now it's making me a chubster haha xx

There are loads of threads on here about people putting on weight after ivf. It seems to go with the territory, unfortunately.
