TMI but help - IVF stimms & diarrhea

oxinfreeoxinfree member
in Infertility
Ladies. I'm on day 6 today of stimms. For the first few days I was fine, then I got constipated, bloated and gassy, and now this morning I woke up with stomach cramps and diarrhea. Now I'm not sure if it's my IBS (I'm constipation dominant but it can flip when my system is outta whack), the meds from stimming, or something I ate. 

Has anyone else experienced bathroom troubles while in the midst of stimming???

And while we're on the subject I had a ton of EWCM yesterday. Anyone else??? 

Feeling like some weird stuff is going on ... Not pleasant.

    I had tons of bathroom issues when I was stimming with follistim for my IUIs.  Not pleasant, but I was told by my RE that this is normal.  I hope you feel better soon!  Not sure about the EWCM...
