Weight Gain Prob
I m on Clomid for past 7 months and also i have undergone IUI once. But it had failed. I have noticed i have gained more than 28lbs in 7 months... can anyone tell me is it bcoz of the treatment? and can i lose it after pregnancy? bcoz i think if i do lots of exercise it will harm me in concieving!
I know that when I was going through serious fertility treatment (clomid IUIs, and IVF) I gained over 20 pounds. I think it was a mix of stress of it all and the meds, and lack of motivation to exercise. After I had a miscarriage last July I took a break from it all and started a regular exercise routine. I have lost 17 pounds and kept it off. I feel better and am actually now 5wks 3 days pregnant!! Anyway my point is that yes you can gain weight from going through all this. But i would not worry about it right now. You will be able to lose it after you have a baby!! Some exercise can't hurt, like walking and light stuff, but I understand your feelings of not wanting to over do it. And your goal right now is to have a baby, not have a great body. Good luck! I hope you have success soon. SSBD!
