IVF after WLS

Has anybody went for IVF after WLS?? Did you gain weight during the IVF process?

Hi Rasha,

I'm currently waiting to start my 3rd IVF cycle. And I am sad to tell you this, but yes.. I gained weight with each cycle. roughly 15 -20 lbs (both cycles combined, not each cycle THANK GOD). I've been told it's normal, since you are pumping yourself with soo many hormones.. but it still sucks just the same. It gets even worse right before the retrival. With my first cycle, I produced 24 eggs and was soo bloated I couldn't fit into anything.

I also ate more than I normally do.. the progesterone made me insanely hungry... I tried to keep good options around that I could grab and snack on.. but I was definatley eating way more than I normally do.

Are you going through a cycle soon? Good luck!! I've been through a fresh and a frozen cycle already, so if you have any questions or anything.. let me know!! I'm open like a book and happy to help out if I can!!!!

I will be doing IVF in January.  I have gained a large amount of weight over the past 3 years of fertility treatments....but I never gained more than 5 on any one cycle.
