So I stepped on the scale this morning....

in TTC after 35
And I've gained 10 lbs in the last two months Indifferent What???  I haven't been super watching what I eat but its not like I'm going to McDonalds for every meal either.  Could this be from the meds?  I've just been doing Femara, Ovidrel and progesterone. Its weird too b/c I'm pear shaped and always gain weight in the bottom half but I can tell I've gained weight in the middle and boobs are definitely bigger than normal.

    Funny that you posted this - I was thinking about this last night....I too have gained weight (15 lbs) in last 4 months.  Not liking it at all...because I do still walk/run the treadmill and eliptical.  I've totally gained it around the middle and my bewbies!  So...it's either AGE or the MEDS...my vote is MEDS!  LOL!

    edited for spelling!

    Whew - I'm glad I'm not the only one.  You'd think the RE might have mentioned to watch out for this. I guess I'll watch it from now on, if I gain one more pound absolutely none of my clothes will fit me - which would be fine if it were actually baby weight :)

    This is me too!  I refuse to buy all new clothes...unless for the same reason!  I'm glad to know I'm not the only one, now I can tell the hubs that the meds are doing it to us and maybe he'll layoff giving me the ol side eye whenever I reach for a candy bar or an extra donut.     Embarrassed

    It's the meds girls! I had it too. And it was only with the two IVFs and that's when I started the Follistim so I am blaming that drug!
