IVF and bloating?

Um.....in some ways I am relieved that this is my only symptom but OMG. Today it was painful to walk and when I dropped me pen i could not pick it up. I didn't expect it to hurt like that. What was your experience?

Ummmm I'd post a pic but I'd probably gross out like 50 infertility buddies and half a dozen lurkers The bloating for me was BAD.

Re: IVF and bloating?

I did not look very bloated, but I could literally feel my ovaries move whenever I walked. I felt like I had to hold them in place (if that makes any sense). Two days after my ER, I was uncomfortably bloated for about 24 hours. Most of my clothes are slim fit/fitted - it took me forever to find something to wear that did not make me feel totally uncomfortable.

I didn't look noticably bloated but I felt it. My clothes were a little tigher than usual and my bras were SO tight. I just felt like a blob. It does go away, though. Just continue to drink a lot of water. If you get dehydrated at all you'll retain even more water and bloat more.

felt like that too..was the worst right before the er

Re: IVF and bloating?

I had bloating and some cramping the days leading to retrieval. Gatorade helps.
