Day 7 stims... oh the bloat!

[Jaygee]

Hi all

On day 7 stims now and have another scan tomorrow afternoon. Hoping for more follicles as 7 is pretty poor I think? Anyway, the bloat is getting very uncomfortable now. Is there anything I can do to relieve it a bit? Any help would be great!

Peppermint tea ☕️ helped me... x

Make sure you're drinking plenty of water, and don't eat anything that will make the bloating worse. You'll have to really watch your diet. Mine settled a little (although still quite bloated), i found my diet change helped loads x

Soaked milled flaxseeds overnight! Mix into your porridge or muesli.

Good luck with your scan. 7 is a great number!! I’ve got collection tomorrow and only 3 follicles 😟. You’ll do fab! Xx

Hi Jaycee. Time to drink plenty of water, even if just sipping. Hope it soon settles. Diane
