Enlarged ovaries early pregnancy

I had successful icsi with last of injections end of Feb. i had my 7 my early scan last week and the nurse told me I had enlarged ovaries still and to increase water and protein. I’ve had pressure in my abdomen since befor egg collection but definitely think it’s been more uncomfortable recently. I’m finding i get quite a lot of discomfort when going to the loo (either number one or two) and when I’m walking quickly. Has anyone else experienced this? How long did it last? How long did it take for it to go?

When I went for my viability scan at about the same time as you I was still getting twinges and the odd shooting pain, particularly if I moved quickly or coughed or sneezed. I was told my ovaries were the size of golf balls so it wasn’t surprising. Tbh I thought ovaries were usually the size of golf balls so I don’t think they can have been that enlarged but the discomfort definitely can last. It was quite a while ago now but I seem to think it went around week 9 or 10. Hopefully your discomfort doesn’t last too much longer.

Thank you. Fingers crossed it alleviates soon as I am in quite a bit of discomfort. I have my first midwife appointment this week so I will ask her about it then too. Xx
