Help!!

I am 11dpiui and I am having severe bloating.  I am having pains under my ribs and in my side.  I took a HPT this morning and it was BFN...I am wondering if I tested too early and if my bloating is normal...maybe even a good sign??  Thanks!

I had 23 follicles.  I do think that I have a mild case of OHSS.  I went yesterday and I am pregnant!!  :)  I am so excited my husband and I have been trying for so long!  I go and get my levels checked again on Thursday and I have an ultrasound in two weeks! I am still in shock!

Hi dancy!

Just wondering...how many follicles did you have? The bloating could have something to do with a mild case of OHSS (hyperstimulation of the ovaries)...but the fact that it just got worse a couple of days ago, and the cramps you're having, could definitely be a good sign!  Best of luck on Tuesday!

Thanks for the advice.  I was scheduled to go Monday for my official test....but the office is closed for Memorial Day...dang holidays!  So, I am now scheduled for Tuesday.  This is my first round of shots and IUI and I am hoping my last.  I was totally not expecting the after pain...which really got worse 2 days ago.  I have been having a little cramping and pain...but wow, I woke up Friday and thought I was dying!  My stomach is poking out like I am 7 months pregnant!  I laugh with my sis-in-law because she is pregnant...I tell her that I look more pregnant than she does!  I am trying my hardest to stay positive...this whole journey just beats you down so much....my DH and I are 21/2 years into this....who would have thought this was going to be so hard?....especially since it seems so easy for literally EVERYONE else in my life!!

Take a deep breath. I was bloated all the way through my two week wait and I had cramping off and on all the way through. I was negative so now I'm on my second round of this. But just because I came back negative doesn't mean you will. I think you're definitely testing early. My nurse had me come in and test 14 days after IUI and I think that's usually the normal amount of time so you could still be pregnant even if the home pregnancy test gave you a BFN. It's still early. What's the old saying, "Hope for the best but prepare for the worst?" There's no reason not to keep hope alive just don't forget to keep your feet on the ground. In the meantime, try to relax and have a nice weekend. Do something fun and treat yourself. Best of luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hoping that on your official test you get a BFP!
