IVF ladies-comfort level before ER? SAIFW

I had another follie scan today and my estimated ER is likely Tuesday - we haven't set up the time or anything. ?

I am so insanely uncomfortable. ?It hurts to take like heavy steps because it feels like that makes my ovaries jiggle or something and it's really uncomfortable. ??

How did you feel at this point? ?DH stated today he is 'surprised' that I feel this way (not sure what this meant but I had also snapped at him about not necessarily wanting to spent tomorrow all day at his parents). ?

?Thanks!?

    I felt exactly the same way.  I could not wait to be retreived!  I was really uncomfortable afterwards, also, though.  It took about a week to feel 100%.  Good luck to you and hang in!

    I was bloated and crampy.  It was hard for to me bend over or sit/stand.  I couldn't wait to get to the ER so I could be empty for a few days.  I remember the first thing i did after my ER was come home and lay on my stomach.

     Good Luck!

    Thanks guys! ?I hated the thought that I was maybe being a drama queen (which is what I think DH suspected). ?But I'm uncomfortable and tired and he'll have to deal with me! ?image

    I felt really bloated too. I wore loose fitting shirts and pants. As soon as I would get in my car from work, I would unbutton my pants. Try to drink a lot of fluids that helped me a little bit.

    I felt full for sure...and that wasn't too pleasant.  BUT - the first 3 days after ER have been much worse for me.  I also think I had mild OHSS as I could barely walk around, stand up straight etc.  Hope you feel better!

    Pretty much the same as you. Wearing a seatbelt was rough. I couldn't even go to MIL birthday dinner because I couldn't sit straight in a chair or bend forward to eat.

    Take it easy and good luck!

    Yep - exactly how I felt.  It was actuall worse for 2-3 days after ER because I ended up getting OHSS.  Drink lots and rest.

    I was definitely uncomfortable each time.  Oddly, I always felt better after trigger, which the first few times made me nervous that I had ovulated :)  But nope!  Anyway, you'll feel better soon.

    I felt like that during IVF #1, but I had 31 eggs between 16mm and 23mm.  I was all bloated, hunched over and miserable starting around day 6 of stims.  :/

    With this cycle, I felt normal up until the day before ER.  But then again, I had fewer follies at that size this time.

    Good luck!


    After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
