weight gain

I know weve talked about this before but i have been on bcp going on 3 wks now and feel awful! I constantly feel bloated and uncomfortable and have gained on my high days around 6 pounds. Any other women experience this? I have been avidly working out and eating pretty healthy and nothing helps much.

Just stinks when youre not pg and gaining weight for no reason ugh! Also Im a little worried my ovaries are still pretty enlarged because my abdomen is still just slightly distended. Sorry for the vent Im just extremely irritable!

    I have been doing treatments for 20 months and I have gained about 10lbs. Sometimes you lose and sometimes you gain but I haven't found anything that helps. It's just a crappy part of the process and it sucks. I even excercise in between and can't seem to lose.

    Unfortunately it's one of the many crappy things that go along with this process. I have always watched my weight and its also killing me I've gained a few pounds.....BUT I always keep my eye on the bigger picture! Hang in there and know you are not the only one feeling this way!
    TTC 2 years- Me and DH (28) with (severely) low sperm count- less than 40 total (last 2 SA showed only 5 and 6 sperm each)

    IVF #2: ER 7/17/13: 6R/3F- transferred 1 blast and 1 10 cell embryo 5dt.   Beta hell.  #1 2.5, #2 2.2- BFFFN! REALLY?
    IVF #3: ER 12/1 and only 2 retrieved.  1 fertilized with ICSI.  Was planning on transferring one fresh and one frozen....fresh was only 14 cells at day 5...CANCELLED and devastated due to 5cm blood filled cyst in ovary and blood in uterus.
    IVF #4: Antagonist protocol with endometrial scratch day one of stims.  ER 4/21: 6R/4M/3F- transferred 2 beautiful blasts (5dt) and one was hatching!  No frosties but hoping we won't need it!  Beta 5/4/14- 444(8dp5dt), Beta #2 10dp5dt 1002!  THIS HAS GOT TO BE IT!!!!!!!!!!  First US 5/15 we saw two of the most beautiful gestational and yolk sacs I have ever seen!

    It is nice to know Im not the only one feeling thia way because sometimes I think maybe its just me and I should be doing something different. As if there isnt enough to stress and worry about now this can be added on also.

    And yes the men have it SO much easier...my dh gets frustrated with me sometimes complaining about my weight, he just doesnt get it.

     Right there with you! I just pulled my spring/summer clothes out of the closet and nothing is fitting. Worst feeling ever Embarrassed

     Wish I could offer advice or a magic solution, but as the PP said - it's another crappy part of the process. Just know that you aren't alone! Hang in there!
