Hi ladies! Well we are 2 weeks into our FET cycle and my Lupron was dropped from 10 units to 5 units. Along with this i am now wearing an estrogen patch and taking an estrogen pill. Since last week i've become very bloated in my lower ab and throughout my mid section. I am not comfortable in anything i wear...I am trying to drink lots of water and eat healthy. I don't recall bloating until the progesterone with my first IVF fresh cycle. Is this pretty common? Has anyone done anything to relieve the bloating or is it just waiting it out? I just feel so yucky...HELP!!

I wonder what is making you bloated. I am still bloated, but that was because of the stims. Sorry, I can't help but hope you feel better soon.

I am doing a FET also. I go in on fri for my transfer. I haven't felt bloated. I am taking estadiol and progesterone. I will be interested to see what the responce to your post is. When do you have your transfer?

I have been trying with IVF/FET's since May of this year. I've been on Lupron for most of it. They do a fat percentage / weight check before each cycle. I have gained 8 pounds since we started. However my fat percentage has decreased 3 percent. The only reason would be that I'm retaining water and not gaining actual fat. I guess that is good news but in the end, yes, I am very bloated. I have to watch my salt because I have noticed I really crave it now. My husband commented I'm oversalting our cooking and I swear it has impacted my taste buds as well. ;-)

I am really bloated this cycle too, not sure why. Have you let your doctor know? I am not sure how to make it go away though. Hope you feel better soon!

I am SO bloated and am currently crammed in my jeans. I look like a mushroom from behind. I am on Lupron and will do the trigger tonight. I've never noticed bloating after progesterone, though...hope this helps.

i was bloated, but i did Ovidrel. I looked like a fat cow and none of my pants fit. Luckily it does go down.

I am praying mine turns from "bloat" to "baby" ;-)

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
