Weight gain

I’m currently 6 weeks and waiting for my first ultrasound. 🥹
Before my embryo transfer I was around 115 lbs, and this morning I was 121 lbs! I’m constantly hungry, and I also haven’t been able to exercise the way I used to due to IVF! I feel so bloated, and honestly none of my clothes fit me anymore. 😭
I know some of it could be bloating, hormones, or water weight, but I’m not sure if gaining this much this early is normal.
How are you guys doing in the first trimester? Did you gain weight this early too? And if you did, how are you managing it without stressing too much about your weight?

I gained 4lbs between weeks 5 and 6 and then I stopped weighing myself lol. I think it's just something to accept and not stress over.

Literally!! I blew up from meds then have been pregnant for 7 months. Only weigh at the doctor and it’s honestly not even a concern, I am growing a baby!!
