Success after IF

Stomach getting smaller? Question from a loyal lurker

Hello- I am 13 weeks pregnant from a successful elective single FET. I stopped progesterone shots and estrogen patches a couple of weeks ago and have noticed that my stomach is now smaller and the few symptoms I did have, have for the most part disappeared...I am  worried that things stopped progressing...Did anybody else notice anything similar after stopping the injections or progressing further into the pregnancy? Some friends have said they experienced bloating that went away in the second trimester...I swore with Baby # 2 I wouldn't worry so much but I guess I was wrong. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks.

  • I agree that you lost your bloat and have entered into the blissful 2nd trimester where you actually feel good for a little while.  Hopefully those kicks will start in a few weeks and you can be reassured. 

    Enjoy the 2nd trimester because the 3rd comes after that... ugh.

  • At a certain point you lose the bloat you have and your belly will start showing more. Symptoms fade in the second tri as well - totally normal! I never had symptoms at all, so I know the worry you are going through, but lack of symptoms does not mean much.
    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
    After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
    My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.
