I am on injections this cycle and I also gained a few pounds. I think once the meds are done are weight will be normal again. My Dr told me it was water gain cause my estrogen was high cause I'm about to ovulate. Maybe thats all it is for you too

On Clomid I also gained a few pounds.Come to think of it, every fertility med I tried made me gain alittle weight. After I went off the meds I lost the weight again. (I also gained about 15 pounds).

I also gained 10-15 lbs when I took Clomid. I asked my doctor if this was a normal side effect and he said that it was not one that he frequently heard about. I am guessing that it must have something to do with the combo of PCOS and Clomid. I didn't take Clomid last month and I have lost 5 lbs without trying so I'm sure your weight will go back down. Good luck!
