15lb weight gain since February; 1 ER
I started IVF in February; I did one ER, but have had a few delays (ovulated through birth control, estrogen producing cyst); My modified natural cycle was cancelled because it would've ended up on a weekend when my clinic is closed. I also ovulated super early on letrozole and somehow got pregnant with having sex once on cycle day 6! This ended in a chemical around 5 weeks. My HCG has been dropping very slowly. All in all, I've gained about 15 pounds, despite 10k steps per day, strength training 3-5x/week and weighing my food/tracking calories. We are switching to a fully medicated transfer once my HCG is 0 and I have a full period. Has anyone else gained weight they can't seem to get off despite diet/exercise? (Side note: I have gotten pregnant 3x naturally prior to this, but have had 3 mc, hence doing IVF/PGTA).
