Is it normal to feel bloated and constipated after the egg collection?

Yes, it is completely normal to feel bloated and experience constipation after your egg collection.

A side effect of the progesterone medicaitons can be constipation, we recommend having plenty of fibre and fluids. If this does not help, then you can use a laxative but make sure it is safe during pregnancy. You will probably feel quite bloated after your egg collection for 2/3 weeks, as your follicles naturally re-fill with fluid.
