Help - is something wrong?

[AJJ123]

I have a horrible almost air bubble type feeling inside my tummy and I’m just wondering if this is normal.

Bowel movements hurt a lot!

7dp5dt bfp yesterday.

Does it feel like air and wind? Because if so, yes that’s normal! I’ve been very gassy (sorry) since my BFP - so much air 🤣 try a peppermint tea and ginger tea, may help settle as well as lots of fluid.

I also had a fresh transfer, and have OHSS which wasn’t helping my symptoms but you’ll know if you have that? Xx

[AJJ123 in reply to XOXO13]

Thank you, yes, although (tmi sorry - the fluffs aren’t coming out).

Yeahhh, I feel you. I have trouble releasing too 🤣🤣 it causes me quite a bit of discomfort and way more bloating than I’d like. Try sipping lots of water, and peppermint tea. Keep to foods that don’t cause you irritation or more gas xx

[AJJ123 in reply to XOXO13]

It honestly feel like if I jump up or move quickly like I am going to fluff but nothing happens. It reminds me of after laparoscopy xx

[XOXO13 in reply to AJJ123]

Did you have a fresh transfer? X

[AJJ123 in reply to XOXO13]

Yes I did xx

[XOXO13 in reply to AJJ123]

Okay, if it gets worse and you’re in pain then do speak to your clinic as I developed late onset OHSS due to the spike in my HCG and I was incredibly bloated and gassy (sorry again). Try drinking milk as well, apparently that helps. It may just be hormones. Xx

[AJJ123 in reply to XOXO13]

I was wondering if it was ohss, people experience different things according to google!

I just feel like I’ve either got trapped wind or liquid in my lower tummy - is that ohss?xx

[XOXO13 in reply to AJJ123]

For me, I was just so incredibly bloated, like I looked 5 months pregnant and kind of still do. My ovaries were tender, and yes I had a lot of trapped air which can be from rising HCG levels and hormones plus all the meds etc. The rising HCG in my case exasperated my OHSS symptoms. When it was at its worst, I was in a lot of pain and felt like my ovary had burst, but before then it was more the bloat and trapped air feeling. It’s definitely worth getting checked out if you’re finding it uncomfortable. In the meantime, lots of water (my clinic advised 4L), try peppermint tea and some milk. Xx

Hi AJJ123 To help relieve your fluffs try lying flat on a bed/floor hug your knees to your chest and rock gently from side to side - that should get things moving Remember to drink clear fluids to keep your poo soft If discomfort gets worse maybe you should phone the clinic /nurse for advice Janet

[AJJ123 in reply to JA-fnuk]

Thank you, I will try that! Xx

Is it hemorrhoids? I’m 13pt and I have it already, never had anything like it in my entire life! I also have OHSS

[AJJ123]

No, my butts not sore it’s in my tummy xx

Sounds like how I was during my tww before the bfp. I told the clinic that I was concerned I had OHSS but they said it sounds like everything is going right. I didn't have OHSS, presumably because they only collected 7 eggs. I was so bloated I ended up in maternity leggings and did not stop trumping! It calmed down eventually 😂 Congratulations on your bfp x

[AJJ123 in reply to Chiefy]

I am wearing maternity leggings! X

Yes - lots of water and kiwi fruit daily.

I was the same and currently holding my baby girl in my arms

[Jinas]

Oh god I feel the same, painful to walk sit do anything I’m 4dp 3dt

[AJJ123 in reply to Jinas]

That’s exactly how I am, I went for a walk this evening and I had a few pains but I have done some little fluffs (discretely) and feel a bit better.

Xx

[Jinas in reply to AJJ123]

I’m hoping it’s not OHSS

I love that you call them fluffs! 🤗
