How Can I Reduce Bloating After My Egg Retrieval?

  • Eating foods high in salt and protein (spinach, tomatoes, seafood, meat, lentils, legumes, chicken). 

  • Reducing carbs in your diet (think pasta, bread, rice). Carbs are stored as glycogen in the liver, and studies show that 3-4g of water may be stored for every gram of glycogen. 

  • Exercising shifts water into muscles and out of the extracellular space. Sweat also leads to loss of water in the body. However, it is important to still stay hydrated when exercising.
