OHSS

Anyone else get OHSS after embryo transfer?
I'm bloated, uncomfortable and have had severe epigastric pain. It's definitely worse in the morning.
If you've had it, how long did it last for?
Thanks.

I had OHSS after egg collection. Keep a really close eye on it, mine got a lot worse very quickly. I started vomiting after 2 days and on the 3rd night woke up unable to breathe and was admitted to hospital. Drink TONS of water and Gatorade really helps if you can find some of that. Hope you feel better soon.

My sympathies - it's really rotten. I second drinking lots of water - plus I found that rehydration drinks (like Dioralyte) helped. Definitely seek medical advice if you start feeling worse.

Oh, and mine lasted around a week to ten days, if I remember rightly.

Thanks everyone for the advice.
I've been given clexane injections, and ted stockings. Told to drink plenty which I'm trying.
I'm going to try sleeping upright tonight.
Thanks for the info for how long it lasts. The bloated ness I can deal with, but the epigastric pain was worse than labour.
Fingers crossed I'm over the worst. Xx
