any tips on beating progesterone bloat?

[MrsF]

have been on progesterone pessaries since saturday, and i'm gaining weight like there's no tomorrow. The bloating, however, is unbearable - any tried and tested remedies??? i'm drinking tonnes of water which is just not helping as thats making me feel uncomfortable, i'm eating small portions so as not to overkill my digestive system and i've not been eating wheat since sunday.

any advice gratefully received, i'm on the devil pills for another 9 weeks and 2 days

ps am in an ivf cycle, just started 2ww so i wont be able to take any meds

thankyou for potentially saving the sanity of me and my DH

I remember this feeling, i couldnt stop complaining 24/7. I dont remember what I did, but how about pepermint tea. It does wonders for me when im really bloated and suffering from lactose intolerance.

dilek, i love you, thankyou - its on my shopping list for tomorrow x x x x x x x x x x i hear you with the 24/7 complaining, this feels far more 'volatile' than the down regs - down regs was a breeze compared to this......thankyou thankyou thankyou x x x x

keep them rollin in ladies, i intend to be symptom free before my R&R holiday on sunday - taking two other couples with us and would hate to be arrested for death by dangerous bloating ........

peppermint tea seems to be working - it certainly taking away the uncomfortable side of it. Am feeling kinda crazy and gonna bang some fresh root ginger in to see if that helps too.

peppermint tea doesnt taste like warm mouthwash - i'm quite surprised! lol x
