Progesterone belly

Hello I am d4p5dt. So far nothing to report but vivid dreams and a very uncomfortably full belly. I dont think I am eating that poorly but my stomach has been distended since my transfer! I’m talking really distended. No pain or cramps or anything like that. In fact, other than the full belly, I feel really well.

Anyone else this bloated from progesterone?? I don’t remember being so bloated in my last cycle and I was on a higher progesterone dose then!

Hi, I am one day behind you - I have also got a bloated belly from the progesterone, I am on cyclogest & lubion. I had a frozen transfer, if yours was fresh I think you are meant to keep an eye on it in case of OHSS. Good luck!x

Thank you for replying, and I did not even think OHSS. I just googled it and it makes sense. I guess I better check in. Good luck on your transfer, we find out this Saturday via blood test!!

Drink plenty of water as it can help the bloating go down quicker.

I didn't have bloating from the progesterone but did have very vivid dreams after my last FET and still have them. 14 weeks pregnant now. I hope this turns out to be a good symptom for you too!

on my last round I had implantation bleeding (teaspoon of pale pink). Initially after the embryo transfer I strangely had crippling armpit pain. But that was it! That resulted in a BFP. This time just bloated belly, vivid dreams and no bleed so far and will find out this weekend of pregnant or not via blood test.
