Follistim bloat? Never had this before....

I am on my 5th day of stims for my Follistim IUI and I am soooo bloated today.  We bumped up my dosage this time, since I am a poor responder.  I usually only get 1-2 follicles at 225iu.  So, this time he put me at 300iu?s for 2 days, then 225iu?s for 5 days.  I go in on Monday for my first check.  I have never been bloated from the Follistim in previous cycles, though.  I?m guessing it might be from the higher dose?  Has this happened to anyone else, this early in the stims?

    I started out on 300iu then start lowering for my IVF and I was bloated so I think it's normal.

    Oh yes!! Me!

    When I used Follistim by the 3rd day I was already bloated. I am sure its from the dosage and it must mean its working!

    This is my second cycle with Follistim and I too noticed a bit of a bloat this time around.  My daily dosage is 150iui and with that I even noticed.  The joys of stims I guess!!! :)

    I was ver bloated both times on follistim.  I noticed my usual two chins turned into three.  So attractive!

    I feel bloated and quite tired, as I think my body is in overdrive churning out these hopefully fat mature follies...just keep telling yourself there is a lot going on inside your body.
