Kelly--

I took clomid for 8 months and gained 25 pounds. Mostly water. Make sure your MD is giving you ultrasounds to check the growth of the follicles because rapid weight gain and distention can be a sign of hyper stimulation.

I was miserable on clomid. I was also taking a steriod and when I quit I was up to 150 mg plus steriods.

I had enough and decided back off the IF drugs and treat my real problem--PCOS and began Met this month.

I understand and empathize with you. Don't have any real solutions other than to stay clear of heavy meals and carbs (they made me feel heavier) and exercise every day, even if it is a slow walk. It really takes self strength to pysch your self up!
