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
Absolutely yes!! 🙈
Yep 100%!
Yes yes and yes! I have gone up a dress size and can't seem to shift it 😭
Yep, terrible stomach bloating and feel like a beached whale when I lie down!
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.
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!
Yes!! Oh thank god I can blame it on meds and not my many snaccidents 🤣
Was it the hormone injections
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
