Bloat this early??

sept9thbride · October 2008

I swear, I get up in the morning and my clothes fit and by 2pm, they are tight and I have to unbuttom my pants. Isn't it a little early for this?

I'm also constantly hungry. If I don't eat every 2 hours, my stomach hurts.

I mean, my baby is the size of a poppyseed people! I feel like it's a little early for this - but if it keeps reminding me I'm knocked up - I'll take it!

I think the IVF process makes the bloating even worse. After the eggs are retrieved the follicles fill with fluid.

I was definitely bloated that early, and even now, as evening approaches I just get bigger and bigger. So far I haven't had to unbutton my pants, but my lowrise jeans are getting pushed further and further down!

The bloat is a definite reminder that I'll take!

I was bloated the second I got my bfp.. even before from the IVF. It only got worse from the PIO shots. I was in maternity clothes pretty much asap cuz my belly was so big.

Once I stopped pio at 10 w it got better, but then the baby belly came

and I was starved my whole first tri and now apparently the last tri! Sorry about it but yes I ate about 12 times a day until 14 weeks.

I'm right there with you. I'm so bloated that I can't keep my pants buttoned. If it's a good sign though then I'm all for it

I am definitely bloated - ugh!

I'm glad it's not just me! I feel like a piggy eating everything in site. If I keep this up, I'll gain 100 pounds Big Smile

(with pleasure, of course!)

doubtful! Your baby really is hogging all your intake ;-)

I didn't gain a pound in the first tri... or maybe 2 lbs? i can't remember.. but I ate ALL THE TIME!!

damn--- I've already gained like 4 pounds --- I wish I had your metabolism mayday!

oh definitely! i had OHSS so mine was worse but when i got rid of that i still had the bloat. i'm back into my pants/shorts again so that's nice. i've been so hungry too. GL ...

I'm still super bloated too and it started right after the ER. I keep hearing it will go away around 11-13 weeks, probably when I stop the PIO. I can't wait until it is gone and the baby bump appears. The bella band can be very helpful!

Me too! Me too! I am so frickin' bloated. A couple of days ago I developed a hard, round belly. It's ridiculous. I do have to say that the non-stop hunger has tapered in the last week, which is good.

sliz · October 2008

same here actually - the nonstop hunger has disappeared - weight gain = still there though....:(

heck yeah it's bloat...I had OHSS from IVF and I was in maternity jeans by 10 weeks. I could have used them at 5 1/2 weeks, but I held out. It was better by week 10, however I had also given up on my normal clothes. When I tried maternity jeans on, I was furious I hadn't discovered them sooner (like 2 years ago when I gained weight:).

I've been bloated (seriously bloated) since before my BFP. My RE told me today not to expect it to go away (until it turns into a baby belly). My insane hunger took a few more days to arrive, but by 4w5d or so it was definitely in full swing. Sounds normal to me!

I didn't have that much bloating at the very beginning and that made me so nervous. I hear ya on the eating though. I had to eat very often. Congrats again! I am so happy for you!

LVBlvd · October 2008

I was bloated through all of IVF, and still am at 12+ weeks!!! And you are right - my RE told me I would stay bloated as long as I was rapidly producing hcg (it keeps the ovaries swollen), so it means you are pregnant : )

Congrats!!
