Question for ladies who've done injects

emsmama15

So, last cycle, my IUI / ovulation day was pretty painful but the next morning I woke up feeling fine - no cramping, fullness, bloat, etc.  I had 1-2 follies last month.  This month, my IUI / ovulation day was more painful and I woke up the next day STILL painful (speed bumps in the parking ramp at work brought tears to my eyes).  It felt like a cross between being really bruised and having done the worst ab routine ever.  And I was SO bloated.  It lasted all day yesterday.  This morning it's just a little uncomfortable and I'm still moderately bloated.  I had 4 follies this month.  

I feel like this makes sense because I had more follies, but I wanted your opinions on whether this is normal.  Any thoughts?  THANKS!

I did not use injectables with my IUI cycles but I have used them for my IVF cycles. My RE office suggests electrolyte water to help proactively combat the bloat. Definitely bring this up with them if you have to go through a third cycle (though I hope you don't have to).

Thanks @Trying4Baby2.  Last month wasn't too bad, but this month is crazy.  I'll definitely ask about this -- if I need to (hopefully not)!!

I had the bloat, a whole lot of bloat but no real discomfort with it. I hope it passes quickly for you!

I had bloating too, but no pain or localized discomfort. The bloating would usually substantially decrease after i triggered and then come back a little for a few days after i ovulated. 

That's great you had 4 follies!

Thanks @dolphin012! I was pretty excited to finally have more than one!

You can use a heating pad for the discomfort, just not too hot, it's good to keep your uterus warm anyway
