ICSI round 3 - tips to combat bloating

Hello,

I'm about to start on round 3 of ICSI, feeling much better after having had a longer gap between cycle 2 and 3 than I did between 1 and 2. Aside from all of the mental side of things and fatigue one of the biggest things I've struggled with is bloating and feeling incredibly uncomfortable. I bloated to the extent I couldn't wear most of my clothes as couldn't do them up and lived in jogging bottoms/PJs when at home! Is there anything I can do to help reduce bloating and also tips on what clothing hides it best. Unfortunately I looked about 5 months pregnant during the first two cycles 😫and was trying to hide it from co-workers! I'm going on holiday at the end of the cycle so want to be comfortable then too.

Thanks in advance!

I asked this at the clinic (have done three cycles of ivf). Nothing helps with the bloating sadly. I wore trackies and floaty dresses and bought knickers in a larger size x
