my wife experienced this just last week following an egg collection. You need to rest more than anything. She took some anti inflammatory’s and used an ice pack too which whether or not helped with the bloating, in place it helped take her mind off it.

Thank u so much for the reply. Hope your wife is feeling better soon. This is my second time and I have defo found it harder this time more exhausted. Good luck on your journey. I give your suggestions a try. Thanks again.

Hi there, I find dresses the most forgiving (nothing with a waistband!). Jersey type fabrics for the win!! But also wanted to say that if the bloating is getting worse or you are in pain its always worth letting the clinic know, just to be safe Also high protein diet with really good hydration does help with the swelling. Hope you feel better soon and congrats on your eggies! xx

Hi. Keep drinking loads of water and watch your urine output, plenty of pale colour. Avoid constipation. Diane
