My mid section is still bloated after having egg retrieval over 3 weeks ago 😒 I've never gained weight in my tummy so this sucks soo much

Anxiety causes me to gain a little weight, I usually tend to reach for sweets because they’re comforting to me!

[@NourishwithMelanie]

I completely understand! Is there something else you can do to help you relax when you’re feeling anxious? Painting your nails? Knitting? Personally I find spending time in the garden helpful. Or listening to a podcast. We can train our brain to associate relaxation with anything we like just by repeating the action over and over again 😀

In an ideal world, you’d probably lose a little first...but you have to weigh that up against your age and the benefit of undertaking IVF sooner rather than later.

My embryo transfer failed 4 weeks ago I was lighter during that whole period but I've gained weight now and I e been back in a calorie deficit for also 2weeks exercises each day. Typically I can drop weight easily but my body is still bloated and my weight keeps climbing....hopefully it changes in the next 2 weeks. I want my body back 😩

I have experienced the same. I have never gained weight before. But now I do not seem to be able to get rid of the added weight post IVF. It’s mostly on the mid section.

Did you lose weight after for now ? I got a same problem and I couldn’t fix it😢never gain belly gain before

[@mrssclarkie5474]

@tran7327 I eventually did lose the weight and things returned to normal. But I feel like it took a toll on my body. Going in to peri menopause now sooo....hopefully the weight gain doesn't start again 🤦‍♀️
