progesterone injections and MAJOR bloat

[papera]

Hi, I'm seven weeks along and have been doing progesterone injections since the day after my egg retrieval. my abdomen is so distended that I look like I could be 4-5 months pregnant! Has anyone else experienced major bloating like this? I'll be on the injections for 3 more weeks. Can I look forward to some of this bloat going away once I stop?

Im 5 weeks n 3 dyas and the past week my tummy has been huge! i was talking to another woman on here in another room about the same thing. dont know if we r having twins or one giant baby or maybe it is pio cause im taking 3cc's once a day myself! whatever the reason its normal and i went ahead yesterday and went to the motherhood maternity store and bought 4 summer outfits!!!!! had fun too!

Completely normal. After I was finished with the progesterone I lost weight

I thought it was just me; I can't wear any of my clothes. I'm 3 weeks, 3 days and don't really want to buy any clothes. I've been having cramping too, hoping that's the progesterone also. We've seen the sac. Lots of hope to you.

On average, how long do you usually take the pio shots for? My FET is tomorrow and my butt is killing me from the shots. I can't imagine 7+ more weeks of this

what has helped me with the progesterone injections is "warming" up the syringe before the injection. after i get the syringe full of progesterone, i put the syringe under my breast (sorry tmi) or under my arm (not the armpit though) for about 10 minutes, until it is the same as my body temp. i find that when it is warmer it goes in much easier and doesn't leave a lump. i also massage the injection site for a couple of seconds afterwards. hope that helps!
