Fet prep and weight gain?

Question

Hi all
I’m prepping for my fet and on estrace and progesterone. I’ve been following a strict but healthy version of keto however have clearly gained weight since I started estrace. In addition super bloated...drink litres of water and it doesn’t seem to come out 😊
Have any of you experienced the same and when does it resolve?
This isn’t a vanity question per say. I’m on the heavy side and was making good progress but now I’m at a standstill.

Answer

My doctor advised me to drink electrolyte drinks and eat as much protein as possible. I had 2 cycles and in 1 I was only eating protein drinks and protein bars, and drinking coconut water 2 liters per day. I gained only very minimal weight. The other cycle I ate very healthy, tons of fruits and veggies - and experienced significant water retention/weight gain. I am not on a diet in general, but would recommend it for IVF. Good luck!!

Answer

It’s natural to gain weight, especially water weight in hormones. Try to get in fiber or Miralax, they also can cause constipation. Keep eating healthy and try to walk at least 20 minutes a day. Health is more than the number on the scale. Good luck!
