    You might find a few people on mfp who are doing ivf, but are you a part of the forums on resolve.org at all? When I was doing ivf I always had people there to cycle with, and it was a great help for comparing notes.

    No. I went through it and didn't gain any weight.

    ETA: Except after I got pregnant. Then, obviously, I did.

    I went through it twice and it didn't cause me to gain weight. You may be experiencing water retention from all the hormones. And bloating is normal. Before egg retrieval I could only wear yoga pants. But that's all temporary, it's not "real" weight gain. Don't worry about your weight right now. You've got enough going on emotionally and hormonally. Keep eating healthy and you'll be just fine.

    Oh no, seriously?

    That might be on the agenda for me - I have my fertility appointment in a few weeks.

    I didn't gain. We did IVF years ago. I'm sure hormone protocols have changed a lot since then.

    I am about to begin IVF and hope to not gain too much weight before pregnancy
