I dont know how to explain this properly but ever since multiple ivf cycles my body just doesnt feel the same physically anymore. Even during months where i’m technically “off treatment,” i still feel this weird underlying inflammation in my abdomen/pelvis. Constant bloating, heaviness, pressure, feeling swollen for no reason, digestion feeling off... almost like my body never fully resets back to baseline.
And what’s confusing me is that most discussions only talk about symptoms DURING stimulation/retrievals. I’m trying to understand whether anyone else felt lingering physical changes even outside active cycles because i genuinely didnt expect the after-effects to stay in my body this long.
Yes 😔 After multiple IVF cycles my body genuinely stopped feeling “normal” even during months off treatment. I also had lingering bloating, pelvic heaviness and that constant inflamed/swollen feeling for way longer than I expected. What shocked me most honestly was how little ppl talk about the cumulative physical impact of repeated cycles.
Yes 😞 tbh after repeated IVF cycles my body stopped feeling like it fully “reset” between treatments. Even during breaks I still felt bloated, hormonally off, exhausted and physically inflamed in this weird low grade constant way that was hard to explain to ppl who haven’t gone through it 😕
I’ve honestly wondered about this too 😭 After a point it stopped feeling like my body ever fully “reset” between cycles. Even outside active treatment months I still felt puffy, inflamed, exhausted and just physically off in a way that’s hard to explain properly. Curious how many others experienced this after repeated IVF cycles.
I’m honestly curious about this too because after enough IVF cycles I started feeling like my body never fully “reset” between treatments 😞 Even during off months I sometimes felt swollen, hormonally off, inflamed or just physically exhausted in a way that’s hard to explain to ppl outside infertility.
