weight gain while ttc

Hi ladies. :) sorry I havn't been logging on recently.  I had to clear my head with the depression due to AF LOL> Anyway... did any of you realize that thet gained weight while in the process of ttc?

I have been taking prenatal vitamins lately.  Is my body reacting too much to the vitamins? I never used to go beyond 108 to100 and I am 5'-3" now i am 113lbs.  that's five pounds from 108.  

Just wondering if any of you ladies had this happen during ttc

my weight went from 115 to 120 then back down to 116 after AF showed then in march i went from 116 to 124 and after late AF showed went to 117 now i am back to 120 since March! and now i am 3 days late for AF again and weigh 120 so i guess you could say i have had the weight problem the whole time ttc!

I had a friend way back that she used to say that sex made you gain weight.  i always thought it was bs until I started having sex frequently and sure enough I was bloated all the time.  As if I was retaining water.  I could have also been eating more since new bf go out to eat, have sex...  So I don't know.  You may also be improving your diet.  And I have noticed some weight gain and I think its the prenatal vits.

It took me over a year and a half to get pregnant this time around!! Its funny that you should bring up the subject of gaining weight while TTC!! I put on between 25 and 30 lbs in the time I was TTC!! Every month I would look at the scale and see the numbers going up and up!! I would just tell my self that it didnt matter cause this month I was going to be pregnant and I would gain weight anyways!! Boy was I fooling myself, lol. I didint want to try and lose weight or take diet pills or anything.....It sure did add up!! I am now 25.6 weeks pregnant and have only gained 7 lbs!! I guess the baby has a lot of fat to feed from:)
Good luck TTC and lots and lots of baby dust!!!!!!!!

it's always nice to hear different opinions.  Thank you ladies :)  I just need some new pants now since my pants from last summer won't fit anymore. I have to unbutton it and rely with the zipper to be able to breathe in them LOL.

When I found out I was pregnant I weighed 125 and I am 5'2 I have always been a bit chubby but nothing horrible. I miscarried at 8 weeks in Sept. By December I weighed 145. I gained twenty pounds! lol I am still weighing that but I am thinking of ways to lose it and excersizing more. I naturally hold in my belly so I pretty much look the same but if I push my pooch out then I look 5 months pregnant! I feel cheated!
