Anyone gain weight since TTC??

boxie · January 2009

These past couple of months have been stressful with changing the frequencey of sex for all my "fertile CM days", charting, cutting down on coffee and alcohol during the 2WW. Not to mention the usual stressors of work and life. I find that I have been eating sooo much. Ugh! I also had a huge chocolate craving before AF this week that I've never experienced on the pill. Any stress eaters have any words of wisdom?

I'm terrible. I was stuffing everything I could into my face pre-2ww "just incase". Then I was barely working out during the 2ww. I'm an idiot. I weigh more now than ever before.

I have definitely gained weight since TTC. I used to slam 2-3 diet rockstars a day. They made my appetite like zero and gave me tons of energy to keep my butt moving. Since TTC I have quit that habit and my ass is ballooning. Not good. What about doing a food journal? Maybe that would help not eating so much...?I know I eat less when I have to write everything down---boring I know!

YES! For some reason before I O I feel like I can eat everything in the fridge.... and then after I O, I feel like I need to feed the not-even-there-yet baby. God, I have gained about 8 lbs in 4 months.

No words of wisdom from me. Last night I tried to just drink green tea instead of snacking, but then I was hungry when I went to bed - blah.

I've more gained the weight just because of the holidays! I have a hard time turning down (or just eating the right amount) all the good holiday food!

Between the holidays and my doctor telling me not to avoid any foods so I could gain a few pounds I felt like I spiralled out of control. . . I'm back to my regular exercise and eating well again . . . thank God!

I gained almost 10 lbs TTC. But, it was mainly because I heard low calorie diets could hurt the chances of getting pregnant.

Kelly: I started a food journal, but it honestly turned into a confessional- haha!

bingo! this has really hurt me too. I cheat on my diets anyway, so I might as well try one.

OMG yes, I gained 10 lbs in 5 months.?

Um, I haven't gained anything. ((sorry)). I do sometimes cut back on my cardio during the 2WW out of fear and such, but overall I'm exactly the same as I was 5 months ago and a year ago.

I weigh myself every day so it's really easy to keep my weight in check, if I even fluctuate 1 pound I cut back my food intake and ramp up at the gym that morning. I find it's easier for me to maintain a specific weight than it is for me to actually lose weight if that helps?

yes! I used to work out like 6 times a week - spin, running trainer. now I am so lazy cause I am like I am going to get big anyway! I still train and spin but its more that like 3 times a week, not to mention I ate everything over the holidays. I keep saying I want to start out my pg as fit as possible, and I am not doing it. bad bad me.

Yep. But I've been ttc for 2 years and now ttc often involves exercise restrictions and drugs that cause nasty cravings
