I always felt like that afterwards. Hopefully it will settle down soon. Good Luck 🍀🍀

I had bad wind and bloating, I already looked pregnant. It took about 5-6 days to settle. My wind continues, and my husband now says I sounds like a duck 🙈🙈

Lol how supportive are they? lol I'm doing the pessaries now and even though they are going up ok they are melting quite quickly 😩

I do them rectally and have no discharge. I had no choice to start doing them that way as my clinic wanted me to start rectally and then I could chose after egg transfer. I've kinda got the hang of it now so stuck to doing it this way. But I've heard of lots of women saying about the discharge. I always worried they wouldn't of absorbed enough, but clinic reassured me and said it only takes 20-30mins.x

Ah ok the clinic said that I should do it vaginally... how are you with the treatment? X

[KeeKee21 in reply to Poppyjay84]

I'm ok, my bloating has eventually gone down. We did better than expected, and got 4 embryos to day 3, and could've waited till day 5. We had to pay for 3 of them to be frozen as they were below what the NHS would pay for, which was fine. We had one 9 cell put back in. The 2ww is cruel, constant emotions, but half way through now! How are you?x

[Poppyjay84 in reply to KeeKee21]

Oh I'm thinking of you! I'm ok apart from being quite uncomfortablemy egg retrieval was Thursday and got embryo transfer on Tuesday I'm not taking any paracetamol trying to just be calm and relax watching Netflix lol the pessaries are ok a bit of a nightmare as they melt quite quickly! I'm sorry to ask but what is 2ww? Big hugs x

[KeeKee21 in reply to Poppyjay84]

Don't apologise for asking questions, ask away. It took me a while to understand the terminology. 2ww means the 2 week wait from the transfer till your test date, as it's usually 14 days. I find the egg transfer painless, and it took about 5 mins, you're nearly there now.xx

So how are you feeling? Have you had any twinges? Is this your first cycle? Big hugs x

Have you tried eating a tin of beans to help release your wind? Xxxx

Peppermint tea helps with trapped wind. Hopefully it's OK to drink whilst having treatment. Ever since I ditched the caffeine a few months ago I'm addicted.

Yes I had loads. It got better after a few days...
