Weight loss after ivf

Common Questions and Answers about Weight loss after ivf

weight

Avatar f tn m now almost 8 weeks with twins and have lost a few pounds. I lost my appetite just after my IVF treatment cos I was sooo bloated n in so much pain from enlarged ovaries. But I felt better 2 weeks ago and I'm eating normally now (I think) despite feeling nauseous throughout the day. However I can't seem to put back the weight I lost and even seem to be losing a little more. Is this normal? I was already underweight to begin with and usually I find it very difficult to put on weight.
1351676 tn?1301339436 I am currently trying for a baby and I do weight loss yoga, is this is or any other exercise ok to do while trying for a baby?
456732 tn?1338567829 Awh hang in there, don't give up and just keep pushing for your dreams! Your going to get down to where you want to be weight wise, just don't give up! January will come up quick and I wish you the best of luck with your ivf cycle. I can't imagine weight loss is easy, but I can relate to trying to give something up and make major changes in my life in order to do ivf and concieve, so I understand its not easy at all to change habits.
Avatar f tn t say for sure that losing the weight will make you respond better to the meds, but losing weight with PCOS is a good thing since most doctors believe that fertility will be increased with weight loss. I lost weight and got pregnant after taking metformin sporadically (side effects were awful). I wasn't even trying to get pregnant then. Unfortunately, that pregnancy resulted in a miscarriage.

Avatar f tn My question is have you experienced one or both of the side effects? Is hair loss always accompanied by weight loss or vice versa? Are there any tricks you've developed that really work to prevent hair loss? The other option, the name I've spaced on, has hair loss and weight gain. Lose all around. Also, how well has topamax worked for anyone using is as a mood stabilizer?
1135546 tn?1260788843 Your success with IVF (or anything else for that matter ) will be improved by weight loss. At many IVF clinics, they will give you a better deal (financially speaking) if you are a good candidate for success--meaning if you are young, healthy, and thin. It may very well be that the hormones are keeping you from losing any more weight. EVERYTHING about your health AND your baby's health will be improved if you can get down to that BMI of 39 that you are hoping for!

211043 tn?1337050701 Oh no! I'm more than sorry to hear of this. I know what its like after IVF, you know, thinking this is it, it has to be! I mean, how much closer can you get than IVF? Well, I'm glad you have a new focus-weight loss-get your mind off of ttc and attack with a vengance! I'm sure the weight loss will help! By the way, that blue dress you're wearing to the event is super cute!
Avatar f tn I felt the same way after I conceived via IVF after my miscarriage in September. I am now heading into my fith month and my fears have eased a great deal...I agree with Tina111, just relax and enjoy the ride! Everything will be just fine!
Avatar f tn I had secondary infertility also, and paid close to 10,000 plus insurnce for my second child... I lost 60lbs and got pg with my third with no problem whatsoever...
385161 tn?1270081218 I know! thats what I keep thinking....if i get the bfp its all good, but if not----hmmm...i am so calling jenny craig/weightwatchers etc. lol. now my new mission is to try to hide this belly for 9 days until my test so people don't ask if i am preggo! thats the last thing i need right now...what should i say "almost preggo" hahaha. so i figure if i can hide it then bam!
Avatar f tn We did see a specialist they recommend iui. And weight loss does help, I lost 35 lbs and on metformin. I'm just boomed with the whole iui process and success.
Avatar f tn m not allowed to exercise. ( initally ivf now subchorionic hematoma).
Avatar n tn Usually a woman is tested for pregnancy two weeks after transfer. Has this point been reached? If it is too soon to test, it's also too soon to tell anything from symptoms. Every symptom at the early stage could just as easily be caused by the hormones of IVF as by pregnancy.
Avatar f tn I'm at 6 weeks after my 6th IUI (was going to move to IVF next) and I while I wasn't tracking my weight, I definitely feel like the hormones made me gain at least 5 pounds. My boobs - already big - got bigger too so I might tip over from those before the baby bump throws off my balance! Don't worry about the weight now, just focus on eating right for you and the baby. Congratulations!!
Avatar f tn My Hubby and I have been TTC our first baby for two and a half years, in that time I have had two ectopic pregnancies (and two early miscarriages in between) which resulted in the loss of both my fallopian tubes, so now IVF is our only option to conceive. We completed our first fresh IVF cycle in June, which sadly failed :o( but we were lucky enough to have 8 perfect embryo's frozen and we will be going ahead with a frozen embryo transfer sometime in early August, so fingers crossed.
Avatar f tn I have two friends now who got pregnant unexpectedly after having babies with IVF. No drugs. I have heard this happens a lot. Does anyone know if it's also common for people who had failed IVF cycles? Maybe I'm just grasping for any little shred of hope I can get. . .
Avatar f tn Acupuncture came into the picture for me after we moved on to the next leg of the ttc journey, ivf... starting the treatment sessions before, during, and after ivf really helped me tremendously. It helped I'm ensuring proper blood flow to all vital organs and helped balance things out. When used in conjunction with fertility treatment, it's been known to increase/improve results... I've since started acupuncture again to help with weight loss since having my twin boys 13 months ago.
4850031 tn?1361058918 m having a miscarriage now as i have been experiancing heavier bleeding and cramping yesterday and today. Does anyone know how soon after miscariage I can start another IVF cycle? (the menopur shots, etc.
Avatar f tn I have heard that losing weight (if over weight obviously) definitly helps and being over weight can hinder becoming pregnant. I have also heard the opposite....I knew a girl who tried for a year to get pregnant...her OB told her to gain some weight and she would probably get pregnant. She was a tiny little thing. So she gained about 8 lbs and BAM got pregnant.... So I have heard both ways. Good luck.
513660 tn?1217171919 so far we tried for a year then nothing then clomid and fell pregnant and miscarried, then we tried clomid for another 6 months, after that i had weight loss surgury and started ivf so far we have had 2 stim cycles, and 3 frozen cycles with no success, We have decided to take a month off to try and concieve natrally with accupuncture, so hopefully that works if not just got to try and try again.
