| Yes. The medications plus exercise restrictions = ugh. |

| No I didn't and did many cycles. |

| No - I actually lost weight- not intentionally- it's just all the nerves that accompany a process such as IVF made me lose my appetite. |

| Yep. About 5 lbs each time. |

| Yes around 10 pounds. But the weight was similar to the weight gained before my period. I lost it in a good 2-3 weeks. This was only for an eggg retrieval. |

| Nope, anything I might have gained was lost by transfer time |

| About 5 pounds total for all cycles. It wasn't a big deal for me. |

| Oh dear lord - yes! 6 cycles and roughly 30 lbs of weight gain. There were 2 pregnancies in between so that caused some of it. |
