I've gained so much weight after IVF! What's the optimal BMI for IVF and pregnancy?

Are you dealing with weight gain from IVF and/or fertility treatments? You're definitely not alone. In this video, I’m sharing my personal journey with IVF and how it affected my weight. I'll share why weight gain happens during IVF, from all those hormonal changes to the stress we go through. Plus, I'll discuss what the optimal BMI range is for IVF and pregnancy in general.

If you're just starting your IVF journey or are right in the middle of it, knowing what to expect with weight gain can prepare you to be kinder to yourself... kinder to your body. Remember that we are going through something really difficult (arguably the most difficult thing everrr), and we have to give ourselves a little grace as we evolve into moms in our very unique journeys. 💖


About me ❤
My name is Hellynn and live in the US, but I've traveled to Korea (where I'm from) to undergo multiple rounds of IVF. Being 40+ and trying to bring children into the world is hard, but I also have a condition called diminished ovarian reserve, so I've done back-to-back IVF egg retrievals and now have moved onto transfers after banking some embryos.

Navigating this world of infertility is definitely a challenge - a million new acronyms, hormones and protocols to learn - it's a lot. So I thought I'd just talk about everything I've been learning for the women out there who have had similar struggles. I'm also happy to share info with anyone who is interested in traveling to Korea for IVF, since it's much more cost efficient + high success rates here.

I am treating this channel as my diary, talking about the ups and downs of my journey to motherhood so that one day, hopefully, my babies will see how they were created... with fierce, enduring strength and love.

I hope you find my videos helpful - thanks for stopping by.
