Hiya, my lower belly was quite swollen looking for quite a while and I probably ended up putting on a few pounds during a round of IVF which took a long time to shift. The joys! 😕 xx

Yeah ive weighed myself and my weight is back to normal pre treatment (lost a bit during treatment as eating healthy cut out alcohol etc) but my belly is definately fatter now than what it was. Yuck! X

Me!! I had a freeze all in April and I didn’t actually put on any weight during the cycle but since my stomach seems ok in the morning but feels so much bigger as the day goes on! Jeans are soooo uncomfortable.

I’m feeling so down about it...

it must be the treatment 😖 I start my fet in a couple of weeks so feel it’s only gonna get worse!! X

Yes I gained a stone from my treatment and got pregnant. Sadly this ended at 9 wks. I've an under active thyroid too so Losing weight is very difficult and long. Xx

I do! But honestly thought it was lack of exercise as I took a break from the gym 😅

We started in September 2016. I’ve had 4 transfers, two of them missed miscarriages. My last transfer was in March. Bfn. When we started I was a size 10/12 and now I’m a 14! I honestly don’t eat any differently than before 🤷‍♀️ xx

Yes, I am on holiday after my 3rd failed round this year and I'm feeling so fat around the middle. It would be ok if I was pregnant, but it's just a further kick in the guts isn't it.

I am exactly the same. Posted about this a week ago. I feel so bloated that I think I lookalike 5 months preg. I am on stims now and my jeans don’t fit. I think it gets better after the pessary stops but I hear peppermint tea helps relieve things.

Yeah i hardly ate today and still felt like a whale. My first round didnt do anything but this second round turned me into Mrs Blobby! Im doing race for life in a couple of weeks thats gonna be disaster! X
