Enlarged Ovaries - does it get better?

Hi all,

I had my IUI this morning... I've been on Menopur for the last 12 or so days and the bloat is INSANE. Doctor said i have lots of follicles and my ovaries are a little enlarged i guess hence all the bloating... I know that at the end of this 2 weeks it will either turn into a period and go back to normal ( i think) or turn into a  pregnancy... For those that have gotten preg, does the feeling of constant discomfort in your stomach get a little better? I'm currently walking around like im 6 months pregnant because of the enlarged ovaries, im in pain and uncomfortable. IF a pregnancy happens, does this mean my ovaries will be enlarged the whole pregnancy and ill be feeling this terrible the whole time?! I hope this is all making sense- i'm prettty freaked out right now.

I dont know about a successful cycle (we just had our first failed IVF in january). But my ovaries and follicles were large and I was in discomfort, sore and insanely bloated. I felt like I was waddling and looked 5 months pregnant. I was sore after my retrieval. The swelling went down about 5 days post retrieval and the discomfort went away about a week after that. 
I hope this helps

Thank you that does help... did you feel like your ovaries swelling went down before your period came? Or was it right about the same time.

Yes. The swelling went down about 4 days after my transfer and I was walking normally again. TMI but certain positions for DTD was still a tiny bit sore 7 days after transfer (14 days after stopping stims) but by the time my period came a few days later I was feeling pretty normal again.
