Hi,

I did clomid 2 months, and am on my 2nd IUI this month. I just got on the scale today (ugh) and as I suspected, I've put on a good 10+. I know I've been doing a little emotional eating too, but trying not to do too much and no alcohol for awhile now. So I think mine is some due to sweets, some drugs. I have had to buy 2 different size pants in the last two months. It's a bit frustrating b/c I read that your BMI should be between 20-25 for max fertility, but mine is 27 based on weight (take 703xweight, then divide by your height in inches squared). I've been told not to exercise or diet so it puts me in a bit of a quandry!
