Well.... not to scare you or anything but I did put on 12 kg over my IVF treatment last year. To be fair it wasn't all from the drugs, I mean it wasn't uncontrollable, I ate like a piggy but still...

If you are concerned -which you seem to be- and you keep an eye on it, you ought to be fine!

i put on some weight as well. I felt uncomfortable, bloated and could hardly walk. SO no gym for me i eventually put on some weight. Im finally back at the gym at a very slow pace.

Tanya just be careful in what u eat.

Yea me too, I felt really bloated, but also wasn't watching everything I eat that well!!

Don't worry, just another symptom of the wonderful thing that is IVF...good luck!

I have gained weight as well. I was hoping some of it was swelling that would go down after the retrieval but so far no such luck. I am still feeling very bloated and having a hard time with my clothes.

Hi,

I didnt put on any weight at all with Gonal or our ICSI treatment - although I always felt so bloated and heavy with it.

Good Luck with your ICSI

I gained about 5 lbs last cycle, esp with the bloatness and heavy feeling, but after it failed and everything returned to normal I lost the weight. This time around I haven't gained any weight, and I'm still working out every other day, and trying to eat healthy for the most part, lol!
