Bloating after Clomid/Ovidrel/IUI?

I finished my clomid almost 2 weeks ago and I take it at night so I don't get a lot of s/e.  The only one I ever really had this time was blurred vision occassionally.  I did my ovidrel shot a week ago and the IUI last Thursday.  I've been feeling so bloated since then.  I feel like I've gained a ton of weight but I check the scale and I haven't really.  But it's so uncomfortable.  I've also been so tired.  I know it's still too early for pregnancy since I'm only 5dpoIUI but is this normal reactions to the ovidrel and IUI or maybe even the clomid?

Re: Bloating after Clomid/Ovidrel/IUI?

  • Bloating is pretty common during medicated cycles.  I hope this is your BFP cycle.  Best of luck. 

    Hopefully the bloating will go away in a week or so.

    This exactly, and progesterone support only makes it worse for me.  You should feel a lot more comfortable as the days progress.  Loads of luck!
