Question Ohss?

I am SOOOOO bloated too! I did 4 rounds of clomid with no side effects but this is the first round of injectables and I am totally MISERABLE! My belly is so big that I cant even sleep at night because my back hurts! And I am a small person normally- 5'3" 120 lbs.

Anyone think its OHSS? Im wondering if I should call my RE today. I keep thinking Im on the downhill side but its been 2 weeks and my tummy keeps getting bigger! I cant even eat because I already feel so full and it hurts to breathe sometimes because Im already so tight! I seriously cant do another round of Injectables if this doesnt work.... Anyone else having this kind of problem?

fun isn't it? i haven't started the IUI or IVF drugs yet, but after 6 months of lupron i've gained 30 lbs which SUCKS i hate it i feel so gross and it just won't go away.... i work out, i eat right and still the scale says 165... evil evil scale...

i've thought about weight watchers but when i used them before our wedding 4 years ago (to lose about 10 pounds which i did and then some) i found that i got obsessive about counting points and analyzing points and it just wasn't good.

A couple weeks ago i found this website MyPlate - Food Diary & Food Calorie Counter | LIVESTRONG.COM (hopefully that link works...) that's like ww in that you track what you eat, but it's pure calories not points. Based on your weight it tells you how many calories to shoot for each day if you wnt to lose 1/2 pound per week, 2 pounds per week, whatever. So far so good....no obsessiveness or guilt so fingers crossed i can get some of this weight off before we move forward with the IF treatments...

best of luck ladies!

I'm feeling the same way and I've got people wondering if I'm pregnant and I hate the way I look in all my clothes. I wasn't sure if itwas the holidays or what, but the area I gain it is different than normal.

Will the elliptical and changing diet help?

Right there with you ladies. As you can see I've been through a lot of treatments, but this is nuts. I am so swollen I had someone ask if I was pregnant. I run 4 miles a day and eat like a bird, so I'm blaming the meds. My Dr doesn't seem to think that is the cause, but everything I read indicates that.
