Re: how much weight have you gained?

I was on the long Lupron protocol and ended up gaining 20 pounds in 8 weeks! I didn't end up getting pregnant but definetely looking very pregnant!

Re: how much weight have you gained?

ugh, it's so depressing! i gained about 15 pounds just in the last year with all the meds (i am super short so 15 looks like a lot ) i'm sure the stress doesn't help either!

you are definitely not alone

Re: how much weight have you gained?

I have gained about 15lbs through this whole process. its seems like the lbs come on MUCH easier than they come off too. UGH. I keep telling myself that its all for a good cause with the hopes of a BFP eventually

Re: how much weight have you gained?

About 15 lbs some of which was due to Prednisone.

Lost almost all of it however went on WW to do it.

I've been off the wagon a while now and defnitely gained some back.

Re: how much weight have you gained?

I have been doing medicated cycles since January....I am up a total of 15lbs. Between the stress, predisone, injectibles, and eating like an animal, im a mess...and I can't work out because every 2 weeks i can't do anything. So why bother. You are not alone !!!

Re: how much weight have you gained?

While I was trying before I got pregnant I went up and down between 5lbs or so during the cycles.... I know it was all water weight because it would fluctuate so much and so frequently.

While I was pregnant for 4 1/2months , I gained about 12lbs.. I still have another 8 to lose to get back down to my pre-pregnancy weight. At this point, I'll just worry about it after the next one.

Re: how much weight have you gained?

I did meds for about 4 months and dint gain anything...now that im on prednisone and preggo I am up 7 pounds...uggg want to puke...im already a chubster!!!

Re: how much weight have you gained?

I actually lost about 10 lbs! Clomid made me so nauseous that I could barely eat and Metformin decreased my appetite also

Re: how much weight have you gained?

I gained about 20 pounds but most of it is just from eating due to the stress and sadness.

Re: how much weight have you gained?

Well, first I lost 40 and of that have put back on anywhere from 10-15 of it, depending on the day. The bulk of that was after my first failed IVF when I ate anything and everything I could to numb myself. Have had a hard time getting rid of it with all the other meds and what not. But, have lost 3 pounds since my BFP (just not all that hungry).

Re: how much weight have you gained?

I have gained 10 pounds since April- and you can see every pound on me! Mine was from the 10 weeks of being pregnant (lost the baby in August), but most of it I think is from the synthroid. I know that you are supposed to lose weight but when I was on it in the past a gained a TON of weight. I took myself off of it years ago and my thyroid regulated itself. As soon as I am not pregnant I will take myself off of it again because I can't stand all the weight I put on because of the medication. I was actually having a pity party for myself tonight about the weight. Yesterday was my godson's christening and I HATE all the pictures of me! I think I look terrible! You are definately not alone!

Re: how much weight have you gained?

i have a 15lb swing generally. when i first started TTC i was the lowest i could ever maintain. by the time my first injectable cycle was over all 15lbs were back. then i went back and forth with 10lbs for a while. i was down about 10 when i started IVF and im not sure how much is meds bloat, but im the highest ive been in a while now, i def gained AT LEAST 8lbs since starting stims like 3 weeks ago
im just hoping that i get a BFP and it doesnt matter

Re: how much weight have you gained?

15lbs and its so hard to get off. i felt the same way if I was prego then what difference did it make. but I have to do something this is killing me. ( ps after i just ate bday cake) i have no will power either

Re: how much weight have you gained?

Re: how much weight have you gained?

I have PCOS and have gained +40lbs!

Re: how much weight have you gained?

I gained at one point about 20lbs. I lost 5lbs last year but could not get another pound off. Then I gave in and went on WW between cycles and I just lost 11lbs. I'm 2.6lbs away from goal but about to start the cycle. Will I make it?

I worked out hard almost every day and weighed and measured everything I was eating. I wont lie, I've been starving every day. It was the hardest ever to get off. but, if you set your sites on your goals you can do it.

I'm actually on lupron and I thought that was it I would not loose after that. But, I just lost 3lbs this week (a huge amount at once for me). But, I'm sure once I add in estrogen and prednisone I'm done for....lol...
