Ivf and weight gain

[Bluelady-sing]

Did the fertility meds make you gain weight

[Rainbowhope]

Yes it did. Weight gain is the worst side effect for me. Also bigger breasts which sounds good but I hate them.

Ive gained some weight on IUI. Ive had no energy at all so my daily walks have been a chore and Ive not been working out like I used to. Ive also just been bloody hungry!! Ive been eating well but I just cant shift it at the moment xx

[aamiller405]

Absolutely yes!! 🙈

[Cinderella5]

Yep 100%!

[Bali88]

Yes yes and yes! I have gone up a dress size and can't seem to shift it 😭

Snap!

[Hidden in reply to Cinderella5]

Same same!

[Zebedee1971]

Yep, terrible stomach bloating and feel like a beached whale when I lie down!

[CAS2]

Yes about 8lbs. I got pregnant and later OHSS and once that disappeared I lost 8lbs almost straight away. Drink lots of water 2-3 litres per day. It will go once you finish.

100% I am a stone heavier than my booking in weight a year ago and nothing else has changed.

[Solly-44]

Sure did!

It’s 33 degrees here today and the only trousers I can fit into are thick jeans 😫 I need to stop dreaming of my pre ivf weight and buy more clothes!

[CLDxxx]

Yes!! Oh thank god I can blame it on meds and not my many snaccidents 🤣

[Bluelady-sing]

Was it the hormone injections

[Hidden]

I feel a lot bigger around my waist and breasts. The acupuncturist who I'm seeing has said that it is the high estrogen levels that are causing the fluid retention.

I am trying to reassure myself if I fall pregnant I'll put on weight so I need to get used to an increase in size.

Good luck on your journeys Xx
