Mine is more observable after the 2ww. The progesterone also can cause weight gain, so i do not know exactly who the main culprit is.
though we complain abt this, i think we must also be careful not to try drastic measures to lose weight during or just before the cycles. Even exercising too much will take a toll on our bodies, and it may affect the ivf outcome.
in fact I've stopped exercising once i started the injections cos during the last cycle i was advised by kkh nurse to do so. at the stimulation stage, our ovaries may twist during strenuous exercise or even housework.
Let's hope that our sacrifices will be all worth it
