Bad bloat after ER...suggestions?

I'm soooo bloated after ER yesterday.  I don't remember feeling this distended last time.  They put me on lovenox due to my estrogen being over 4000, but didn't mention anything else specifically to do. 

Any suggestions?  Maybe I shouldn't have eaten curly fries with dinner....Stick out tongue

    Gas x helped me tremendously. Also, although counter intuitive, lots of Gatorade or coconut water.

    I popped colace every 4 hours.  It lasted weeks for me.  I hope it's better for you.  Good luck with everything you have coming up.

    I had really high estrogen levels and the same symptoms...they diagnosed me with OHSS..ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome...Be very careful with this as it was certainly not fun but something that goes away on its own. My dr recommended drinking alot of gatorade or powerade and actually eating salty foods. Basically after the ER your body's natural reaction is to fill back up with fluid and with OHSS it displaces in your stomach and possibly around your lungs. You may feel like you have to urinate all the time but then really dont and you also may feel like you cant take a full deep breath.

     

    Definitely call your doctor if the bloating does not go away.

    Good luck and hang in there.  My second was soooo much worse than my first.  I couldn't believe how much more pain I had on this go around (although I did have more eggs this time) gaterade helped a bit. I tried to drink a lot of water even though it made me feel much worse.  I read that helps clear out your system.  It took me about 4 days to start feeling better.  And about 5-6 days before I could take a full deep breath.

    TTC since 2008, our little miracle arrived July 2013!
