Weight gain during fertility treatments??

Weight gain during fertility treatments??

I've been putting on some weight since embryo transfer. Just wondering how much weight is considered normal? I know it's all water weight at my abdomen but it seems excessive and I can't even wear my jeans anymore. I wanted to call my RE's office but don't want to seem like a whiner. When will I start shedding the water weight? I'm on progesterone in oil shots now. Will this make the weight gain worse?

Everyones bodies are different but I can tell you I personally have gone through 3 fresh IVF cycles this year alone and have gained 22 pounds.  It's been hard for me because I basically cut out all caffeine and alcohol but in the interum picked up a desire for ice-cream for my enjoyment.  After each cycle I would lose between 5-10 pounds but then a month later I start another cycle and so you get my point.

Gaining weight is the last thing you should worry about.  The 2ww is the most stressful 2 weeks and I look at it as 2 weeks that if I'm hungry I'm going to eat.
