Femara - weight gain?

I used Femara to get pregnant in 2009. I don't recall weight gain, but my weight was high and I immediately lost it when I got pregnant due to appetite loss.

This time I noted a 5lb gain immediately after starting and constantly feeling hungry! Am I crazy??

    I didn't notice any either, but we were on the lowest dose and we only had to use it once to get pregnant. Perhaps it's a multiple use thing? If you're worried, you could talk with your doctor. Good luck!

    No weight gain here and I have been on it since Jan with a few break cycles.

    This is my second month on femara and I've noticed weight gain.  Between 5-10 pounds and I've actually tried to eat healthy. 

    Just had my second IUI today and hoping for a BFP!

    Weight loss is a common side effect of Femara I guess that?s why you didn?t see weight gain at first, it is best that you do not try to compensate this weight loss by eating everything on sight as later the appetite changes and you feel more hungry like you experienced.
    Just eat lots of fruits now to get Vitamin D that your body will need (from milk,eggs)
