Excess weight due to infertility treatments - anybody?

eikogiada

Hello everybody!
I am looking for friends who endured infertility treatments as I have and put on some extra weight as a result of the medication. I have been going through IVF treatments for about a year and since I've started with the hormons, I am under the impression that my whole metabolism slowed down and now I'm experiencing issues with loosing the extra weight. I don't blame the medication for gaining weight. I gained about 7 kg mostly because I used food as a remedy against all the stress and the frustration while I exercised less and less due to the lack of motivation and low energy levels.
Before being on treatment, I had always had a quite easy time to loose a couple of kilos when I wanted but now I barely see any results even if I stick to my diet and exercise regularly.
Has any of you ever experienced something similar? I'd be very glad to hear your experiences.
