Bloating?

in Trying to Get Pregnant

I've read that bloating can be a sign of both O and pregnancy, but I've never experienced this symptom....until now.

Anyone else ever have extreme bloating while O'ing and for a bit after?

    I generally don't get bloated.  Do you think you are O-ing?  Do you chart?  You should look into fertilityfriend.com (you can click on any of our tickers), it will help you to know where you are in your cycle, and track these symptoms to start to see patterns.

    GL.

    ETA to add that if you are just starting to TTC, you will start noticing all sorts of symptoms that you never noticed before.  You may have just never paid attention to the bloating before now.  You'll probably start to notice other things too, just to warn ya ;)

    We've been trying for a few months now, I just hadn't joined TheBump until recently. I also use a different program, and one through my phone to chart things...I had just never noticed this symptom before.

    Believe me, it's been an interesting ride since I stopped BC months ago...I was just curious if anyone else had ever experienced this : )

    I usually feel a bit bloated around O time. It's also a weird type of bloated feeling that's hard for me to describe, but it's come like clockwork for the past few months right at O time. Good luck to you!

    Do you ever feel so bloated that, even though you know you need to, you don't want to have sex? Thankfully we had covered our bases a few days prior, but there was one day that we should've tried but there was no way I could...I felt horrible!

    I go through the exact same thing each month.  Around O time, my clothes don't fit anymore and my stomach is so bloated it almost hurts.  It's terrible and frustrating. 

    I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one this happens to :)

    I've found that if I stay away from high sodium foods (processed foods) it helps a lot.  Just something I've found that helps me.

     I've never temped, but I do track CM using FF.  If I'm not pregnant this cycle I will start to temp CD1. 

    Good luck!

    After 15 cycles and 3 rounds of clomid (50mg) we got our BFP.

    Same thing for me this month. UGH it's not a fun time! If my clothes don't fit me, I want it to be because there's a little person cookin' in there, not because I'm bloated!!
