FET - bloating/weight gain

does anyone seem to extremely bloat/gain weight during FET cycles.

I’m currently going through an FET cycle, embryo transfer is next week and I actually look pregnant I am so uncomfortably bloated. I think I’ve gained half a stone. I’m wondering if the weight gain is just from the medication and will go after 🤷🏻‍♀️

The medication can make you feel and look a bit bloated- also with ovaries being stimulated adds to this Make sure drinking plenty of fluids If the feeling increases maybe should let your clinic know

Take care of yourself

I felt the same, as soon as I started taking oestrogen, I was drinking so much water but that wasn’t helping, things changed for better as soon as I started progesterone. Not as bloated anymore and feel lighter in general. Stick to the water and fingers crossed everything else will be ok, good luck with your fet🤞
