Ivf bloat

Im on day 8 of stims. Had a scan today and since i got back and ate, I've had a painful bloat.

Tmi.. i feel like i just need to go to the loo and release a load of wind! Problem is it wont happen. Its just expanding my pipes on the inside causing a lot of discomfort.

Been drinking lots of water and went for a gentle walk today. Been drinking peppermint tea and ginger tea to help.

Help on getting a bloat down would be appreciated!

Hello Summertine! I am day 5 of Stims. If you think you might be a bit constipated, I recommend prune juice (just a small glass each day for a few days). Good luck! x

Hi, I struggled really badly with bloating (and horrible gas).. I tried Fybrogel from the pharmacy but that did not help at all.

I started eating 3 prunes and 3 dates every morning (as soon as I went to the kitchen).. and I don't know whether that made a difference but within 3 days my bloat was completely gone.

That's the only thing I changed so I think it is thanks to the prunes..

Gentle walks, keeping hydrated.. I never tried prune juice, so hopefully that will help you too! I also suffered with bloating and I never found anything really that helped. I hope it gets better for you soon! And all the best for your round!! 😘🤞

If it's wind rather than constipation you can take things like Wind Setlers/Windeze. I take them for IBS-related wind and they do help xx
