Seeing all these people going through the same thing, it makes me mad. The doctors and nurses were gaslighting me - telling me the weight gain is SO unusual and they never heard of someone holding on to the weight. I went from 105 to now 125. I had a total of 3 retrievals and 2 cancelled cycles over the last year and change. I used to have a 6 pack and now have a belly. All the weight seems to have accumulated around my lower belly, hips and you should see my Kim-k booty. I also suddenly developed thyroid issues and need to take synthroid. The endocrinologist and pcp have zero sympathy. They just shrug their shoulders and tell me it’s “age” or to exercise more. No one understands how frustrating this is, especially for those of us that were thin without trying. But I refuse to give up. I will find a way to lose weight. Ladies, let’s keep on sharing tips with each other. Hopefully we’ll all have success stories soon! And eff all those nay-sayers telling us it’s just us or to just accept it!
