When do you usually feel ovary discomfort during stimulation?

[five star]

Just started my stimulation meds for IVF and wondering when most people start actually feeling their ovaries... like pressure, bloating, or soreness wise? I'm only on day 3 and don't feel much yet. Trying not to overthink but curious what's normal.

Hello there! I'm just seeing your post and realize your stimulation phase is now complete. I wanted to know how you are doing.

Feeling ovarian discomfort is a very normal thing to wonder about. A ubiquitous experience is to feel very little around day 3 of medications. For many of us, the bloating and a heavy feeling won't begin until the 2nd week. Every woman's body will respond in its own way and on its own schedule.

I hope your egg retrieval went smoothly and you received good news!

It's normal not to feel much yet by day 3. Most people start noticing pressure or bloating around days 5–7, but everyone's experience can be a bit different.
