well, I can no longer deny it - I have gained 15 pounds since starting IVF in August. I suppose that 3 cycles, 2 pregnancies, and 2 miscarriages will do that to a person. I now weigh almost as much as my husband, who has been working on losing weight. I told him he can't lose any more until I do!
I went shopping today b/c I really need to have some spring pants that I can zip and button. I expected to go up one size. I had to go up 2 sizes. sigh. It felt great to wear pants that were comfortable, but I may have to cut the tags out!
my sweet husband was with me, and he wisely answered "no" every time I asked "does this make me look fat?".
Re: depressing shopping day
IF weight gain sucks! It just adds insult to injury. As if dealing with everything isn't bad enough, then we gain weight. Justice would be that IF would cause weight loss! At least your husband is sweet and supportive.
your DH is a good man. :-)
I hate IF weight gain... it's like kick us when we're already down, ya know?
