Size up on comfy clothes?

Hey, I'm preparing for my first round of IVF and read that comfy clothes are a must due to bloating. Am I best sizing up for extra room? Any advice is greatly appreciated 🫶

Depends if you wear tight fitting clothes then upsize but just wear what you feel most comfortable in tbh. I went thru IVF and didn’t change much until started getting a belly. Feel free to msg me if you have any questions or a chat.

honestly I wasnt any more bloated during stims then I am during my period. once I was pregnant though a whole different story, I also had twins so that definitely sped up the need for sizing up with clothes

Good luck 🤞🏻 I wasn't bloated at all until about day 7 of 12 days of injections. The bloat wasn't crazy but it was uncomfortable. I was still managing to get into my jeans 2 days before egg collection, after that it was pj bottoms until about 3 days post egg collection. If you can't WFH, I'd recommend getting something more loose to wear on your bottom x

I got a pair of loose fitting trousers that was loose around where you put the injections. Happy I did as I got OHSS and was very very swollen.

Hello Tara. Brace yourself for the journey ahead. It’s difficult to know what to do and what not to do. After going through it myself , and two FETs. My only advice is please don’t over prepare as the journey is so unpredictable and can lead to disappointment . Just do what you do, wear what you normally wear . You don’t need to size up as such, but I’m sure you have comfy clothes to your disposal at home if needed such as PJs , joggers etc
I only finally bought maternity clothes in the third trimester . I did not change anything before that.
The biggest change for me was no exercise during stims , as high risk of ovarian torsion.
All the best x
