Bloating during stimming!

I'm on day 6 of injections and have started to feel bloated! I'm assuming this is normal. It's more noticeable at night after I have eaten. I feel more tired today but not in pain. I notice it more when bending and moving around. I assume this is the norm?

Hey, I am on day 5 and I am certainly feeling the bloat. Not sure if it’s normal as it’s my first cycle - but my obsessive googling on the subjects suggests bloating is the norm (-and gets it worse as time goes on!). Interested to hear others view on this.

I’ve also started to feel little twinges in my tummy - but am not sure if it’s all in my head.. scan on Friday so will find out what’s been going on in there - hoping it’ follicles growing and not just a food baby! Xx

I’ve been bloated on both fresh and frozen rounds. Definitely gets worse over the course of the day. One of the many fun side effects of all the meds we pump ourselves with!

After 4 fresh cycles I can safely say it’s completely normal!! And I remember being absolutely exhausted! Mint tea is fantastic for bloating, but I’m afraid it will continue, I remember by the time I was ready for collection my ovaries were pretty sore 🤦🏼‍♀️ never thought I’d feel my ovaries 😂😂 good luck with this cycle!! Xx

Unfortunately, it’s completely normal, & will probably get worse. My partner found that drinking loads of water helped. xx

Snap! I’m on day 7 of injections and have only just started to notice bloating and tiredness. I have headaches too. Need to rest and ease off a bit at work I think.
