Jeans too tight - I blame ttc and IF (just a silly vent)

in TTC after 35
I pulled out my thin jeans and couldn't get them past my thighs, so I pulled out my bigger jeans and they fit just right. While I am glad I kept a pair of these bigger jeans because they are freakin comfy, I am pissed that IF and TTC have made me gain 10 lbs. Grrrrrr....

    I know what you mean.  I am tired of being puffy for no good reason (pregnant puffy, I would not mind, IF puffy not fun).

    Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive.  Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)

    Not only do the drugs make me bloated, they also increased my appetite so I eat everything in sight.  I had to go out and pick up a couple of new (bigger) pairs of jeans.  I only hope the weight gain is not permanent!

    Glad to hear I am not the only one. I have been wearing my "fat pants" all week. I have the urge to go out and run 10 miles to try and get the weight off. I doing so good until I start all the hormones!! But I say well worth it if I can get BFP.

    I hear you. The only pair of jeans that I'm able to wear are my "fat jeans". My bras are digging into my side but i'm just being stubborn about buying new ones so i'm only fastening one of the clips on the back instead of all 3. That seems to give me the extra space around the back that i need. UGH!

    The breast part is even worse than the need for fat pants.  I paid a lot of money to be a D cup.  Now with IF, I have turned into a DDD.  They are so big that it is embarrasing and so hard to find a bra that fits.

    You all make me laugh!!!

    I wish I had the bra problem. My B's have stayed exactly the same, which is actually fine with me, but I would have preferred boobage out of this weight gain instead of extra booty.

    I know - when does it end????????? I hope we all see an end at some point - we have to. I'm tired of having my reproduction probed and analyzed by multiple doctors, and my body change because of it. erg
