Weight gain IVF

Finished a round of egg collection about 6 weeks ago ( Pgt-a). During the IVF I gained 1/2 stone, but it went when I had my withdrawal bleed. I have just started to ovulate naturally (positive OPK) and over the past week I have gained the 1/2 stone back!!, I’m so bloated and uncomfortable. This is not something I’m used to, I usually gain a little weight before AF but nothing like this. Has this happened to anyone else?, is this normal?

On my second round of IVF (long protocol) I gained 4 kgs and managed to loose only 1,5 kgs practically 3 months later. I didn’t start eating more back then and was walking 15-16 steps a day. Doctors told me it’s impossible but I can’t think of anything else
