Miscarriages & Weight Gain
 

I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this problem. In 2000, I had a miscarriage but gained 15 lbs. before miscarrying. In 2001 another miscarriage and another 15 lbs. Then took Clomid (infertility drug). Had another miscarriage in 2002 and another 15 lbs. A whopping 50 lbs gained and it just won't go away. At one time, I did aerobics 5 days a week for 8 weeks and didn't lose a pound. What's wrong with me??????? Any help would be appreciated.

MsBarker I have never had a miscarriage but you probably gained some weight from being pregnant as most of us do. Now in reference to your doing aerobics I think you were probably gaining some muscle mass which the scale wouldnt reflect. Did you take measurements? Some refer to the building of muscle mass (which is leaner than fat mass) as a nonscale victory. Try taking some measurements, start your exercise regime up again and then measure again after 8 weeks and I'm almost positive you will see some inches lost :)

Sounds like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome to me. I have had miscarriages and weight gain as well as (most times) no menstrual cycle at all. I have trouble carrying or getting pregnant at all. I have only gotten lucky once, and hope to one day fix this problem and have another. I hope you find out soon what your condition is. Good luck!
