My bloat vanished 2 days ago

Bella • Mom of 6yr & 3yr old. Expecting baby #3 March 2026

Im 7 weeks 3 days and since 5 weeks I've been extremely bloated, and Ive been having sharp left sided cramps (which my ob said was probably just my pregnancy cyst providing me progesterone) and both symptoms have disappeared.

I know progesterone can cause bloating and I have PCOS which normally has my Progesterone very low when Im not pregnant. Having both symptoms gone makes me worried my Progesterone might be too low. Also at my first OB 3 days ago she wouldn't check my HCG, Estrogen or progesterone. She said "Its not necessary, youre fine". That was my first OB appointment with this pregnancy.

I told her I've had a loss from low progesterone before and she said "Thats not true, low progesterone cant cause that"

Has anyone else in first trimester had any similar experiences?
