9dp2dt - bloating and trapped wind

[Itsalongjourney26]

Anyone any suggestions to ease this? I'm not concerned of OHSS as I only had four follicles from stims. Just feeling really uncomfortable and sore and look like I have a bump but is really just gas 🙈

Hi, the only thing I can suggest is peppermint tea as it's a natural remedy.

It might be worth asking a pharmacist for advice if there's anything safe you can take.

Are you on progesterone? That's probably the culprit.

Hello 👋🏻 I am 3 weeks and 1 day now post 5 day transfer, I too am suffering from being very bloated and the trapped wind is so painful at times it crippled me. I tried peppermint cordial and it’s really disgusting but does the trick and sucking an extra strong mint helps almost instantly. Rubbing the belly can help but definitely the extra strong mints are my best tip. As for the bloating and being sore I still have this too ( I had 12 follicles ) so i called the clinic and they had me in this week for an ultrasound, my left ovary is still really enlarged and there’s lots and lots of fluid around my organs. They weren’t overly concerned and just said to keep measuring around my stomach everyday and if the pain gets really bad to give them another call but bloods were all clear. Everyone reacts differently and takes longer to heal so just try and relax because it’s all normal ❤️

Also the clinic said the peppermint cordial and the extra strong mints are perfectly safe 👌

Hi. Oh dear! Sorry to hear this. I would advise drinking plenty of water, even without the risk of OHSS and anything pepperminty! Good luck, and hope you soon feel more comfortable. Diane

Thanks Diane! Seems to come and go at the moment. Trying to drink as much as I can although it makes going for a pee sore too. Hopefully it passes soon!

Enjoy your annual leave.
