This is my first time doing IVF . We have completed everything and now we are at the waiting game of 2 weeks for our first blood test. Every since the transfer I am been very bloating and crampy. Not sure what or how to feel. Anyone out there have any suggestions or want to chat.
YAY!! for you all that your feeling is very normal. I had the same exact symptoms there was a point where I had even thought I was going to start my period. I am hyperstimulating so that did not help much. They retrieved 21 follies and I still stimmed more so that made me very bloated, crampy, back aches, etc. and the doc said it was all normal then we got the great news that I was PREGO!!! We were soo happy and it was our first try of IVF. Thank GOD! I am 8+ weeks and still bloated and feeling sick my ovaries are still big and swollen they are bigger than my baby but it will all come back to normal. Well I wish you luck and pray for you. Let us know your results and if you need to talk some more and have more questions write back I will be more than glad to help.
I have a 16 month old son through IVF and the first, oh I'd say trimester, I felt bloated and crampy. In fact, I had that "oh my gosh I need to get to the bathroom FAST I'm about to start my period" feeling most of the time. That does go away, but is unnerving to say the least. I don't know if that is normal for pregnancy, or if it is just due to the hormones and manipulation of our ovaries from IVF.
Good luck! Being a mommy is one of the biggest blessings in my life!
Thanks for all the aweosme feedback. At least I don't feel so stupid now. It's hard going through something like this not knowing anyone around me that has gone through this before. My first week of waiting is over. I went to the doctors on Friday to get some bloodwork and US to make sure I didn't need drained from the hyperstimulating. They did an HCG blood test and that came back negative, but the doctor said not to worry because it was only 6 days after transfer. How did you guys feel during that 2 week waiting period. I don't really feel to much different than before. Just my boobs are really sore and tender. I wish that something would jump out at me so I would know I was prego or not. Oh well. That would be to easy. Let me know how you felt during those last 2 weeks. Thanks. Have a great day and still praying for all of you. God Bless!
