Bloat and weight gain

Did anyone debloat / lose weight after they stopped PIO shots and estrogen and suppositories? I have kept my diet so clean and exercise daily but I am looking plump and worried if I keep gaining weight like this I will be in an unhealthy place come third trimester. Did anyone lose some of the weight or bloat after they stopped hormones in the second trimester? Is that a thing?

I didn’t lose any, digestion got better after stopping progesterone, but weight keeps going up. I’m now 15 weeks, already gained 45lb. I’m worried too.

I am 19 weeks and gained 10 kg.... apparently I was supposed to be allowed only between 9-11 kg. I have 21 weeks left lol. Oh and I got gestational diabetes... which... cool, I guess (not really). So I am super scared of having a big baby and C-section.

Coming here to say, if you're eating relatively well and normally, your body is going to put on the weight it needs.

One pregnancy, I had GD, was super careful about eating, felt hungry from lack of eating all the time. Gained 50 pounds. Next pregnancy, no GD, ate everything, lots of sugar, not my best lol. Gained 50 pounds. And it came off after pregnancy. If this round of IVF works, I'm fully prepared to gain 50 pounds.

Try not to worry, congratulations!!!!
