Hormone medications used in IVF treatment (especially estrogen and progesterone) can cause fluid retention in the body, which may feel like temporary bloating and a few kilograms of weight gain. Additionally, some women may also experience increased appetite. However, these effects are limited to the treatment period; in most women, fluid balance returns to normal and the weight gain resolves. That said, every woman's body responds differently; it's best to consult your doctor about the side effects of the treatment and its impact on weight.
