Weight gain can be difficult no matter what is going on in your life, but when you’re taking weight inducing fertility drugs and being told by your Dr. that you need to manage your weight for treatment, it can be very frustrating.
You can also gain weight from emotional eating. Infertility and treatment is one of the most emotional times in your life, up to this point. For those who are emotional eaters, infertility can be a double-edged sword.
What are some of the things you can do to keep the weight down while pursuing treatment?
- Eat Healthy! Put the Doritos down and grab a slice of Cantaloupe
- Take a Walk! You’re most likely already dealing with some emotional stuff, so take a little time to spend on yourself and think about things. Walk around the block or join a gym and walk around the track!
Your exercise in combination with healthy eating will help curb those creeping pounds.
Remember, the healthier you are, the better your chances of conception and delivery of a healthy baby!
