Appetite post EC πŸ₯š 🐷

I was weighed on EC- the nurse said β€œLet’s see what the drugs have done to you.”

I did have an increased appetite whilst taking my nasals and injections but ever since my EC on Monday I’ve done nothing but eat.

Nothing quite curbs my hunger. I’m eating my fruits, veg and drinking lots of water but can’t stop craving crisps, chocolate and biscuits. I feel like I could just eat for a week πŸ™ˆ.

Has anyone else had this problem or is it just me making excuses for myself πŸ˜‚πŸ™ˆ?

I just keep thinking if this is how I feel prior transfer how will I be post transfer.

I’m feeling some brisk walks this weekend.

Are you on progesterone? That made me feel ravenous (and very bad tempered lol!!) but it did settle down after a week or so. Hope your little embies are doing well xxx

I am 3dp3det and I haven’t stopped eating since EC! I keep making healthy meals and then having crisps and 3 Creme eggs for pudding πŸ˜‚πŸ™ˆ I agree with MissSaoPaolo I think it’s the progesterone- I’ve put on so much weight over the last couple of years of it on and off! x

My appetite increased too...I expect a lot of it the drugs, a lot of it...well I deserve this because I've got this far 🀣

Enjoy the odd treat, it's such a hurdle to get to! And keep up with veggies and healthy meals too and you'll be just fine xxx

Bit of a mean nurse if you ask me! I didn’t have this issue while on drugs, I was adamant not to put any weight on so managed to control myself- having a little treat during weekends! Maybe try that πŸ˜‰

Anyway, don’t worry too much, enjoy the process πŸ’‹πŸ’‹πŸ’‹πŸ’‹πŸ€žπŸ»πŸ€žπŸ»πŸ€žπŸ»πŸ€žπŸ»πŸ€žπŸ»πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€
