Progynova and some serious bloating

[Debb88]

Hi there,

I am having an embryo transfer in a few months (egg donor) my doctor is trialling a round of progynova (3 tablets) and a sandrene sachet. I am on day 4 and have some bad bloating and cramping happening. Has anyone else has this experience? I am on holidays so hoping it’s the hormones and not holiday weight gain 😂😂

For me the progynova/estradiol causes a bit of water retention so indeed this does make you feel a bit fat! Ha ha ha I had a few minor cramps like mild period pains but that just seems a pretty common side effect too so I dont think those things are anything out of the ordinary....oh the joys of IVF meds! Good luck.xx

Ditto what these ladies have said!! I’m currently on Progynova and am really bloated (struggling to fasten my jeans 😂🙈). I’m drinking plenty of water and not wearing anything to tight (thank god for smock dresses!!) xx
