Hello girls
Just curious to know if any of you girls have put on unexplained weight - like a few niggly kilos during your ivf cycle/s and cant drop it off...gggrrrhh 
I have unfortunately had a few cycles now with no pregnancy at all :(((( and have seemed to of put on approx 5kgs within the past 2 years!!! eeeeeeekkk. Is this because of the drugs/stims etc putting playing with our bodies metabolism?? Any comments...? ------------- TTC 5 years Me 39 & DH 47 (antibodies and DNA frag issue) 1st/2nd/3rd ivf/icsi - Jan,Sept, Dec 09 4th ivf/icsi - May 10 bfn 5th ivf/icsi/tesa Dec 10 6th ivf/icsi/tesa.

Hey mtjt,
I've just done the one IVF cycle and have deffinately put on a few kilos though I'm not sure whether that was due to the drugs or the lack of excercise I've been doing during it! |

Hi mtjt,
5kg per full IVF cycle for me!! Have finally lost it again but it's hard work. Think it is all the drugs - I certainly 'blew up' quite a bit. Hope things going ok  ------------- 5 IVF/ICSI Cycles - 10 embryo's, 8 transfers, all BFN's. Our journey to parenthood is over, and we join the unfortunate many for whom IVF does not work. |
