bloated?

I am on day 9 of stims...the bloated/heavy feeling in my ovaries is making it difficult to walk. I dont ever remember feeling like this in past cycles. Is this normal???

Re: bloated?

I think it is normal. My ovaries were HUGE and I could definitely feel them 2 days before my ER. I felt like I had to hold them in place.... The nurse said it was normal since your ovaries are at least double their normal size.

Re: bloated?

I was definitely like this. Every step I took hurt. Now that I am back to normal it feels weird to walk without feeling my ovaries. They told me it was normal. I was also at risk for hyperstim but I think that had more to do with the amount of follicles I had, not necessarily how I felt. How many follicles do you have?

Re: bloated?

i def felt that way too. i could def relate to what a chicken feels like

Re: bloated?

Thanks everyone! went to dr today and everything is normal. I only have 8 follicles, but it feels like 88:)

It's ok, it will all be worth it!

Re: bloated?

I felt like that too...

I had 21 folloicles and I felt like exploding...it was horrible. I also had Hyperstim with all 3 IVF cycles.

Your ovaries are the size of almonds and after a cycle can be the size of a lemon...pretty amazing what our bodies can do...

Good Luck, your half way there :)

Mine wasnt that bad, but i felt very uncomfortable. Worse when i bent over.
