Why Am I Gaining Weight While Undergoing Infertility Treatment?

Hi. I have polykystique ovaries with no regular ovulations. I have been on Duphaston and Clomid since around 10 months, got pregnant and had a miscarriage around 5 months ago. I’m a little depressed and I have gained a lot of weight since I started the treatment which is even getting me more depressed!!! I’ve tried a diet over a period of 2 months but kept on taking weight!! Is this normal? Is the treatment making me gain weight or is it preventing me to lose weight or is it just increasing my appetite? What can I do??

Hello
Welcome here.

There is weight gain in PCOD due to hormonal imbalances.
You should start with daily exercises like running or jogging or swimming.
Also, drugs like metformin will help you to control weight.
Please talk to your doctor about this.

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
