why me?? OHSS...

so thus far, i thought everything was going great...  the day after ER i thought i was just having really bad gas and took simethicone and tried to burp it out.  by last night, i had excrutiating pain in my belly and i looked about 5 months pregnant.  i talked to my nurse, who said i might have been hyperstimulated, and told me to take tylenol, drink plenty of water and gatorade, and take it easy.  during the night i made numerous trips to the bathroom, and this morning, my belly is much smaller (but still not normal size) and the excrutiating pain is gone.  i must have drunk about two gallons of water/gatorade today already!!  luckily, i haven't had any of the other symptoms of OHSS - no nausea at all, no vomiting, no difficulty in breathing, etc.  how bad would OHSS for ET to be cancelled?  my ET is on sunday!   is this something that i can just "pee out" / just resolve itself?  i haven't been able to reach my nurse, and i was wondering if any of you ladies had any insight for me?  TIA.

I had about what you are desribing.  Mine resolved b/n ER and ET.  Dr potter put me on bedrest in between and HIGH PROTEIN diet, he said to drink those high protein shakes and gatorade a lot.  I made it to ET after flying across the country and back.  Take it easy and rest up and keep up with the fluids.  Try and get ahold of your RN for more info. 

 (((hugs))) Hang in there.  I don't know much about OHSS.  I do know many people who had it and it resolved by transfer though.  

thanks, ladies! i just talked to my nurse, and she said that the improvement is a good thing, and to keep drinking more liquids, and try to stay off my feet.  we'll know for sure on sunday if the ET will take place.  if my condition worsens, there will be no ET and the embryos will be frozen.   after 20/26 eggs fertilizing i kept thinking to myself that "yes! everything's going to go great" and then this happens.  i guess no one ever said this would be easy...

thanks, ladybuglady!   and congrats on !!

ing this all works out.

Hang in there!  Don't worry!!!

Mine resolved by ET--however be aware that if you get pg the symptoms will probably be back, so be aware--mine were back 5 days after ET

tiger link, I just want to wish you a good luck with your cycle, I had OHSS as well, it is scary, but in most of the cases it just pass away alone. Hope you will better soon though!

GOOD LUCK!!!! I had the same issue that you did, only I did not call my RE because I was afraid they would cancel the transfer! I figured if it got much worse I'd let them know...but it did gradually get better.

So by the transfer day, I felt SO much better! Belly was flatter, no other real issues. Then I got pregnant, and 2 weeks later ended up in the hopital for OHSS. It wasn't that bad. Getting the swine flu the day after I was discharged was much much worse.

lol

Good luck tomorrow!

 I know exactly how you feel i have gone through the same experience in May 09 they got 30 eggs out of me but i couldnt get a transfer because of OHSS. My eggs altough good in number didnt fertilize well, only 16. Looks like egg quality issue.

You have  good fertilization rate hence good quality eggs. A lot to look forward to. I wish you the best of luck. You are so close just hang in there.
