Gaining weight
I knew I'd gain weight once I was pregnant, just never thought it would happen before the fact!!!
I weighed myself this morning. It may not be a big deal to others, but since getting off BCP last year, I'm up 15 pounds. None of my doctors, acupuncturist, etc seeem concerned. I only wear dresses because none of my pants fit and I refuse to buy new clothes. I didnt even weigh myself when I was doing the stims last month because I was so bloated.
I'm not overweight (yet lol) but I am definitely on my way there. I wonder if the weight gain is negatively affecting my already wonky hormones (I know its true that my hormones are affecting my weight).
I dont exercise, but I'm relatively active. I am becoming an emotional eater lately, but that said, its not like I eat really unhealthy food. I eat super healthy all day then have ice cream at night. I dont think that's really abnormal. In my past life (prePCOS/IF) I would never gain weight like this.
Just add it to the list of my many failures this and every month.
Sorry not sure if this is a vent or what, but thanks for listening

Re: Gaining weight
I am in the same boat... I'm up about 15lbs from when I started  I've been so focused on the goal here that I just stopped caring as much. I never thought I'd be that way... but there's just so much else to focus on these days.
For a long time, I was too "proud" to go up a pants size. Instead, I'd wear my maternity pants that I had from when I was pregnant. I don't know WHY that seemed like e better plan to me but I was just so opposed to getting the next size up. Well. ... finally I caved, and I'm so much more comfortable. I figure they'll be good for after the baby too since I know I won't be automatically back into a size 4 then either.
I had to shift the styles I was used to buying.. sometimes I'd try something on thinking it would look good just to find it was good on my "old" body... but not my new one. I just keep telling myself that after the baby I'll get serious about getting back into shape.
Until then.. I need my comfort food
Just know you're not alone!!!

Ack, sorry you're going thru it too. Does the doctor seem concerned at all?

No, honestly I know a lot of it is from the meds... I already noticed my face is more bloated in the last couple of weeks since I started prednisone.
I mentioned to him a while ago that I was concerned I never lost the weight from the pregnancy (the one last year) and he said it was very normal.
I know you're not in that same situation- but still, I know that weight gain in this process is totally normal!!

Or better yet... when we're 38wks pregnant and look back at these days and say... "and we thought we looked big THEN??!"

Re: Gaining weight
I feel the same way as both of you! After my m/c last summer I was depressed and stopped working out, then just as I was getting better, I got sick and couldn't work out. Then the IF treatments started and were unsuccessful and I stopped working out. All in all, I'm up 10lbs and in much worse shape than ever.  I started losing weight three weeks ago (down 2.5 lbs) but started injections last night so wondering how that will affect the weight loss. Just hoping to be preggo soon!!!

Re: Gaining weight
i gained weight... but i think it was due to my eating whatever i wanted and drinking like a fish
once i ot on the scale and realized that i was 8 lbs up, that was a big wakeup call to me.
i immediately cut my drinknig from 1-2 glasses of wine a day to 1-2 glasses a week.
i also changed what i was eating- making healthier decisions.
not sure if ive lost all the weight- its only been about 2 weeks- but i already feel so much better and healthier - and i hope by shedding all the drinks and extra calories that those pounds will fall off
