4 weeks- bloat and gas pain?

Rachel

Hi ladies,

Today I am 4 weeks pregnant with my first after a successful round of IVF!

I have been feeling extremely bloated for the past few weeks and I thought it was due to the egg retrieval, but now I know why :). I can’t fit into my jeans due to the bloat, my stomach feels very very tight, and this morning I had severe sharp pains between my belly button and rib cage for about 10 mins. I think it was gas pain, and it has not returned in the few hours since.

So far no bleeding at all (not even implantation bleeding), and no cramping since 2 days after egg transfer.

Is this normal? I am not scheduled to see the doctor until end of July, so I don’t know what I should be expecting during this phase!

Thanks for your insight!
