@hopeifivf: Why do your ovaries get bigger during IVF stimulation?🤎 It’s completely normal. During stimulation, several follicles grow at the same time, causing the ovaries to temporarily increase in size. That’s why you may experience bloating, a feeling of fullness or pressure, mild lower abdominal discomfort, or increased sensitivity. Your ovaries will gradually return to their usual size after stimulation and egg retrieval. Every woman responds differently, which is why regular monitoring throughout IVF is so important. #hopeivf #ovarianstimulation #ivfstims #ivfmedication #ivfinjection
They said mine were grapefruits 😳 49 follicles retrieved and then I about died from OHSS. What a time.

IVF is scary... forcing your body to do things it's struggling with can not be good for it.

My 11yo just had a cyst that was 7.5cm cause torsion on her ovary. They said the cyst was about the size of an orange, I never really considered the size of an ovary in comparison. Yikes.

They said mine were the size of grapefruits. 42 follicles. Ended up with severe OHSS, hospitalized for a week with two partially collapsed lungs because of the fluid build-up in my abdomen. 🥲

This makes so much sense. Literally have said “I can feel my ovaries they are so heavy.” Our bodies go through so much in this process
