Weight gain in IVF – Do you go by myths?

Get the answer to this query from this informative piece by IVF experts of the best IVF center in Delhi – Gunjan IVF World

Most women undergoing IVF or planning to go for IVF often enquire about weight gain after treatment. Is it true or false? IVF experts of the best IVF centre in Ghaziabad – Gunjan IVF World provide answers to this frequently asked question.

Is weight gain in IVF, a result of the medications?

“That’s a very common question that most women patients enquire from me. My answer to that is, of course, we blame the medicines, but let me tell you that is not the case often. The injections that you take daily during your ovarian stimulation most commonly contain FSH, which works on your ovaries for multi-follicular development. This leads to increase in estrogen and progesterone hormones in the body,” stated renowned gynaecologist Ghaziabad and Founder & Director of Gunjan IVF World – the best IVF center in Ghaziabad.

“It is a well-known fact that the increase in body weight resulted out of the hormonal changes and water retention during ovarian stimulation,” said Dr. Garima Sharma, Consultant and Centre In-Charge of the best IVF clinic in Janakpuri – Gunjan IVF World, who else.

“The rise in the estrogen & progesterone levels in the body cause the body to retain salt and water, which makes some patients complain about bloating,” mentioned Dr. Shubhda Gupta, leading gynecologist Noida and Consultant of Gunjan IVF World – the best IVF center in Noida. “But the amazing thing is that, this is temporary. Once the stimulation is over, the hormones come back to normal range,” added Dr. Anshu Dhar, Consultant at Gunjan IVF World – North India’s most awarded IVF chain, twice in a row, by ET Healthworld.

“This means, you lose all that extra salt and water, and your weight comes back to normal,” concluded Dr. Gunjan Gupta Govil.
