My Story and Blog: The Conception Craze
1/2009- TTTC
After 7 rounds of clomid and HcG, Three failed IUI's with an ectopic pregnancy, two shots of methotrextate, ER visits, breaks, low (3%) morphology One IVF cycle (lupron, gonal-F) that ended in another ectopic, more methotrexate, A Lap to disconnect both tubes, remove endo and a hydrosalphinx, . . .we are finally expecting TWINS from FET#1!
1.11. 2011: Beginning FET cycle!
3.11.11- FET! (DH's birthday!) 2 blasts transfered!
3.20.11- BETA #1 BFP!!! 272! (9dp5dt)
3.23.11- BETA #2 1346!!! (12dp5dt)
4.8.11- U/S #1. . TWINS!!! . . .TWO BOYS!
9.10.11-My beautiful Boys arrive unexpectedly at 28 weeks, 6 days.
On Lupron, my weight has been pretty steady... Since starting the Gonal-F and staying on the Lupron, I've lost 4 pounds. Just not hungry, I'm feeling pretty full, and all around it makes me feel kinda gross (like cotton in my mouth/throat and a nasty aftertaste to everything - yuck!)
I hear that the bloat comes on after ER... Sooo looking forward to that!
I gained on Lupron but also during my first IVF, which did not include Lupron. I think a lot of it was water weight though. After the first cycle was canceled, these extra pounds came off pretty easily. And don't worry about eating too much, you should pamper yourself for sure:)

I gained 4 lb. each time I was on Lupron. However I was also eating a lot of candy to ward off the bitchiness so that might explain the weight gain better.
DS #1 on the way after 2 cycles of ART (IVF+FET)
EDD 7/3/11
It's probably a combo of both, I'm trying to keep it in check during this whole cycle because I know there's some inevitable gain during the whole process.
After 20 months, 5 IUIs, PCOS, Endo and IVF, our baby is here! Full IF history in blog
