Did anyone start showing VERY early?
I am only five weeks, and am soooo bloated. I know that a large portion of it is due to my recent IVF cycle (fertility meds, enlarged ovaries, etc.), but I feel like I already have a little bump (not real baby bump, but major bloating!!).
Anyone else get that right after their BFP? And did anyone who receive fertility treatments have a similar experience?

Re: Did anyone start showing VERY early?
For me with my first PG by 5 weeks I was very bloated, very. It went down around 10-12 weeks. I had then about 3 weeks of being normal before I started to actually show.

Re: Did anyone start showing VERY early?
I gained 15 lbs with the IVF -- as soon as I received the positive beta, I looked 5 months pregnant. I have late-onset OHSS from the IVF where the follicles, due to the HCG, held onto ALOT of fluid. It was extremely uncomfortable and I had to buy a BellaBand just so I could still wear my clothes (NONE of my pants fit). Doc said to drink plenty of water and increase protein. It's FINALLY going down and I have 5 more lbs of the "IVF weight" to go......

Re: Did anyone start showing VERY early?
i thought i did, but it was mostly just bloat...that and the fact that i wore tight/form fitting clothes to begin with didn't help! i gave in anyway and bought maternity clothes in the 1st trimester...can't avoid what's bound to happen!

Sounds like me! I don't have OHSS, but from all the medications (including injections) from the IVF, I have definitely gained a few pounds, and have A LOT of bloat in my stomach. I can't stand it because I am only 5 weeks and don't want people to know our "little secret" yet. I hope this bloat goes away!!

Re: Did anyone start showing VERY early?
at 5 weeks I couldn't even button my pants. I couldn't get the button anywhere near the button hole. About a week later, I was able to button them but they were still snug.
I'm 13w2d today, I don't think I'm showing yet, but it's definately time to put away my regular pants for maternity ones.

This is me! I am only 5 weeks and I can't buttom my pants, either! This bloat is crazy! But I really think it's due to IVF.
