Julie, I can't believe I only saw this thread...this weight gain thing has been bugging my happiness for a while, but I always trying to keep it to myself that in the grand scheme of things, its nothing. But after many cycles of dissapointment, I have found more resentment in this TTC journey and losing my figure is definately one of them ...

Not to my liking, my weight gain adding no size up to my boobs only the 'middle part', I have very much changed my dressing style in the last few years...Ebay becomes my other best friend so I can sell up all my Size 6 clothes, no more short t-shirt and tight jeans, smock or tunic dress is my favourate now because they are loose and cover my middif...I was sure the other day when I accidentally wore the wrong type of clothes, my female boss was checking my tummy trying to work out if Im pregnant...

I do find after a stim cycle, the bloating tend to be most severe and then after a few weeks break, it graduately eased off a bit, I don't look like 3-month pregnant. Nevertheless, I've gained at least 6kg through all the drugs...Not being an active person in the first place, I have been trying to do some running, swimming and yoga, but with the interruption of the cycle planning (as you mention worrying exercise when taking drugs then TWW etc etc), all becomes too hard. I do find yoga or pilates are really beneficial with my calmness and flexibility of the body, but not so much on losing weight.
