Does the camera really add 10 lbs?!?! And short vent!

I went to a wedding this past weekend and I was looking through photos taken of me at the wedding. I was in shock by how big my face looked! My DH said that when I was on the Lupron and stims that he noticed my face got a little chubby, but he didn't want to say anything. I know my tummy and hips grew a little too...I was so sick after HCG I don't know how I gained all this weight. 

Has this happened to anyone else?

Short vent: Went on good ol' Facebook today...now I have friends who are announcing their friend's (who I don't know) pregnancy. Guess what??? I DON'T CARE! Sorry vent is over! ;)

    Not sure about the face/camera part but I know MH would have lost some teeth if he brought up anything weight/size related while I was filled with hormones :p. That being said, during stims I did move to my fat jeans. I only have two pairs so there was a lot of washing. I've been slowly moving back to my regular pairs.

    I seem to have ballooned up in my face while on hormones. I am starting to lose some of it, but it is taking a bit of time. MH is really sweet and didn't want to say anything because I am already fragile/hormonal, but he was just trying to tell me I'm not fat it's just the hormones. :)

    I think it is the steroids. I gained 10 pounds between starting my BCP and ET. I gave up getting on the scale after that.

    Yep, Lupron does it to me too.  10-15lbs every time.  Which, btw, is crazy and obnoxious.
