2WW First time

[C-a-t-m-u-m]

My stomach is so bloated! I look like I am 6 months pregnant! Is it the progesterone? I am day 8 after a 5pt .

I have also tried not google stuff but I can’t help it! Thrown myself back into WFH Monday. Also the evening after egg transfer I changed the bedding as I wanted to have a fresh bed haha that’s not to strenuous is it? I am going slightly insane.

Yes it’s the progesterone mine was like that on every attempt xxxxx

Did you have a fresh transfer? I got late onset OHSS and was like that same time. Clinic took me in for a checkup and I was pregnant! Hope that’s the case for you...

Yes first ever cycle fresh transfer! I am only petite so it’s a good job I’m working from home and I can hide my bloated stomach under my fluffy cardigan 😂

[Gueritarubia in reply to C-a-t-m-u-m]

So it could be OHSS then. Monitor your urine and call your clinic if it gets too dark or you feel too unwell.

Drink a ton of water (like 3 litres per day), protein with every meal and some extra salt, that might help. I’m only a day behind you. When’s OTD?

It’s next Wednesday! I have taken a days holiday then if it’s bad news I can curl up with my fur babies for the day. Is this your 2nd cycle or first?

I’m on my 7th and last FET to try for a sibling. Blastocysts have been from the same batch as my daughter, which was my second cycle. Xx

Mine is to I’m 12dp5dt and my tummy is massive it’s so tight and swollen. I spoke to the dr and he said it’s late on set ohss. Mine was a fresh cycle and I had a lot of follicles so it’s not to surprising but it’s very uncomfortable I have had some terrible pain with it. But turns out I’m pregnant so that’s the reason I have been bloated throughout this cycle but it’s the last few days my abdomen is huge (I was smaller at 7 months pregnant before)so guessing it’s the increase in hcg that has brought it on. I’ve just been told to rest up

My advice would be to just relax and have a good fluid intake

Fingers crossed you get your bfp xxxx

That’s fabulous news about the positive! I still don’t want to get my hopes up. Could still be the awful progesterone yuck. I never did do well with progesterone 🙃

Hi during my 2ww I had the same thing I felt so bloated , i would start off fine in the morning but gradually get bigger as the day went on my stomach was huge & it was very uncomfortable I thought it was down to the cyclogest, it could have been , but I got my BFP last week so not sure if it was that. My bloating has eased a lot over the past week , I’m still on the cyclogest .

Best of luck

Hi, there are so many possibilities, the drugs or like the other women suggest it could be OHSS. Talk to your doctor as symptoms can go in either direction with OHSS. There's no harm in getting it checked out. I'd also suggest making sure it is checked out and not dismissed if its really bothering you. In my case it was dismissed as bloating related to the drugs until the next day when I ended up in A&E and a radiographer diagnosed me. So some symptoms can present themselves as other problems but only once they look into it, can they truly rule certain things out. Hope you start feeling better soon. Talk to a professional.
