Weight Gain while TTC

Anyone else experiencing weight gaine while TTC. I know have bit a bit stressed and maybe depressed somewhat over all this, but I have gained 5lbs in one month! I feel so sad all the time and I'm not as enthused about exercising:( Is this common? I have to get the 5lbs off...I can't gain another 5 next month!!!

I know.  My boss was thinking that I was still pregnant even though I had a m/c.  They see what I eat for lunch and it's mostly fruit and salads so they were concerned that I was hiding my pregnancy from them.  I finally had to tell them that I was on a bunch of supplements and it was causing me to gain weight not pregnant.

I don't feel like I''m alone. I'm gonna try so hard this next month to get the weight off, but I'm concerned it will be hard!

wanabb: Interesting about metformin...Thanks for passing that along.

I know- I'm like is it not enough that we struggle to conceive...now I just feel heavier and no baby! lol.

So far i have gained 15 in 8 months, from clomid and prometrium.  like this isn't hard enough already you have to add weight gain.  Since i started metformin i have lost 5 at least.

Oh thank goodness I thought I was the only one.  Even though I run 3 x's a week and do other exercises I have gained 7 lbs this month with all the meds that I'm on.
