I had a Ovidrel shot a few days ago and an IUI yesterday. This is my fourth month getting a Ovidrel shot. Everytime my tummy gets really bloated. I made the mistake of reading the side effects of Ovidrel and it said if you get bloating/and or weight gain call your doctor immediately. Well, I have been getting this every month (i gain a few pounds for about 4-5 days then it goes away). Is this serious? Anybody else get this? Why does my stomach (and breasts) swell up like this from this shot?

I would love a doctor to answer this. I hope I am not "in danger" or something from this bloating.

It can be a side effect and it's always best to call your Doctor right away to make sure everything is ok. The only way to know for sure it's to contact your Doctor and let them know of your side effects.

i always get super bloated, like so much that my pants are very snug and un-comfy. I chalk it up to thats how my body reacts to it. I also get super bloated (same feeling) and not hungry when i take it as well as when i am preggo. I am pretty sensitve to that particular thing and since they are injecting 10,000 units of preggo hormone into me i feel it more than others! lol

thanks so much! I get really bloated only in my stomach and then it goes down in a few days...but during the ovulation phase my stomach gets so big it looks pregnant to me. I will call my doctor to be safe.
