Ginger - it took my body a week or so to lose the bloating from IVF especially once i had OHSS. Just take it easy - it wasn't really till i had that week of work that it all went away.

I know it is difficult, but just be patient with your body. You're doing a wonderful job hun....look after yourself and embie # 9 ]]> Tue, 06 May 2008 18:15:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16864&PID=376449&title=when-does-your-body-recover#376449 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16864&PID=375540&title=when-does-your-body-recover#375540 Author: Two Blondinis

When will you find out, Ginger?

I hate bloating too, only mine's endo. What I'd do for a baby at the end instead of a big crop of endo tho!!]]> Fri, 02 May 2008 19:37:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16864&PID=373105&title=when-does-your-body-recover#373105 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16864&PID=373017&title=when-does-your-body-recover#373017 Author: noodle

I was going to say ginger that your bump is just gona get bigger because soooooooooo many fingers are crossed really tightly for your wee bean to stick and it's gonna happen hehe

serously tho sorry you are so bloated and i hope your tum returns to normal soon! (well as normal as a preg tum will hehe ) ]]> Fri, 02 May 2008 12:39:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16864&PID=372779&title=when-does-your-body-recover#372779 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16864&PID=372533&title=when-does-your-body-recover#372533 Author: ginger

For goodness sake. I just realised - all of you who have done IVF and are still on the boards became pregnant, so you don't know because your bumps just got bigger!

I think I'm going to crawl into a hole and stay there till next month.]]> Fri, 02 May 2008 09:01:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16864&PID=372533&title=when-does-your-body-recover#372533 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16864&PID=372529&title=when-does-your-body-recover#372529 Author: ginger

I know that no two people are alike, but I'm struggling with my post(ish)-IVF roundy tummy. My pants and skirts are so uncomfortable because I have this bump which I can't suck in and which doesn't like my normal wardrobe.

There's no point in buying some bigger clothes because then they won't fit me when I'm back to normal, and buying anything maternity would just be foolish even if it IS just to allow for my current bump.



Those of you who've done this - how long does it take to get your body back?

(I suppose if this is the only hormonal rant I have, then I've done pretty well really )]]> Fri, 02 May 2008 08:56:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16864&PID=372529&title=when-does-your-body-recover#372529
