Post IUI Bloat. WTH. (Child mentioned)

MommalawyerMommalawyer member
in Trouble TTC
Seriously. I was somewhat relieved to be off the follistim given the all over body bloat. I started the progesterone (the pill that you insert) and seriously, I can't even button my pants. I'm beyond bloated and the gas is SO ladylike. When I eat, even the smallest thing, it looks & feels like I eat Thanksgiving dinner for 2. Anyone had this post IUI and/or progesterone? Any secrets for relief? DD asked if I had a baby "in there."

    Progesterone is the devil.  :)   No secrets for relief.  I just drank a lot of water and walked around with my pants unbuttoned.  Super classy.
    Married on October 20, 2012.  Began trying in January 2013.
    RE appointment & testing December 2013 - February 2014= Unexplained IF, possible endometriosis
    IUI#1- March 22 (100mg clomid, 75 mg of Bravelle, Ovidrel trigger) = BFP!!!

    I have had bad bloat post IUI and there wasn't much I could do to relieve it. Usually it only lasts for the day of for me. I will be adding progesterone for this cycle though. Not looking forward to it, but I will do whatever it takes!

    With my third IUI I had horrible bloating and horrible pain. It wasn't until about two hours after but it was bad. I could barely move. My second one was horrendous. My cervix wasn't where it needed to be and the nurse had all sorts of problems. Oh the stories we shall have to hold over our kid's heads some day :).

    No pain no gain, right @StacyLH24‌? If this works, it's totally worth it, for sure.

    @Lm92599‌ - mine got really bad, then I was in gut wrenching pain, among other issues. My doctor said I had a moderate case of OHSS. I've been on bed rest since the weekend. It's gone down significantly, but I still have a little pooch. I literally looked 4-5 months pregnant.

    My biggest fear is that it's NOT temporary & I'm going to end up staying like this AND with my new zitty skin. And all to have a BFN on top of it.
