    I didn't take follistim, but I had major bloating from the stims. Mine went away about 5-6 days after the ER.

    I have some MAJOR bloat going on.  I think it is a combo of the stims, the retrieval, and the progesterone I am on.  I literally have no suits for work that fit.  I had to rummage thru the back of my closet to find an acceptable, flowy dress to wear today.  I am 3 day post ER and 6 days past my last dose of Follistim/Menopur.  Hopefully it will either go down soon or turn into a cute bump!

  • My bloat from stims (Follistim & Repronex) went down several days after ER.  I actually felt thinner and not so puffy for a few days.  Now I have progesterone bloat going on . . . . grrr.
  • Yup, I'm echoing what these others have said...  I remember feeling better 5 days after ER.  Until then it was bloat city.
  • It took about 5 days for the serious bloat to go after the ER. I still feel bloated but not nearly as bad 6 days later. I think overall your body just goes into "bloat" mode. If it's not follistim, its progesterone or something else. As pp mentioned, hopefully the bloat will transition nicely into a baby bump :)

  • I don't know but I hope soon!  I have my ER tomorrow, and I look like I'm 3 mos preggers.  crossing my fingers that we both are in 2 1/2 mos!!
