Did anyone have a lot of water in the stomach after the retrieval?

I have been drinking gatorade like crazy and eating salty foods according to the doctor's recommendation, but I am still so incredibly bloated! They don't seem too concerned that I literally look about 3-4 months pregnant all of a sudden. How long did this last and any tricks to get rid of it?

Yes, I was really bloated after the ER but between that and all the prednisone I was taking, my stomach never really went down.

Did you try eating anything salty? I really want to get rid of this. I am so uncomfortable. Where are you in your cycle? I am on the prednisone too.

Yes that happened to me too.

I just did exactly what you're doing and wore lots of loose shirts!

I was still very bloated after my transfer and it honestly didn't really go away until AF came (for my fresh cycle).

I want it gone today!!! This is insane!!! I just sent my hubby out for McDonalds and gatorade. I figured there is nothing more salty than Micky Ds.

It can last up to a couple weeks, so be patient. Just keep drinking the Gatorade...but make sure you take in a good amount of water also...water helps you eliminate excess water.
Good luck!!!
