Still feeling like this 4 days after egg collection?

I had egg collection on Wednesday, I felt crampy afterwards as expected but is it normal that I'm still uncomfortable now on Sunday? Transfer is tomorrow. I don't have the key symptoms of OHSS really, no nausea and I'm eating and drinking normally, no weight gain at all. But Thursday I felt like I had a pole up my arse, Friday that was replaced with feeling like my lower abdomen was knitted together and it was hard to stand up straight. Saturday that was gone and replaced with upper abdominal pain like indigestion. That's gone this morning and the pole up the arse is back. I'm frustrated that the pain isn't totally going away and just moving to new places. It's quite mild really but just difficult to get comfortable and I can't do much around the house. Is it normal to feel like this or could mild OHSS present like it?

Hey, I'm literally at the same stage as you. I had egg collection Wednesday and transfer is tomorrow. I've also been having tender pain when my bladder gets full it really hurts and when I go wee it goes. Still tender when I move too. I think you should call the clinic just to inform them ? Drink lots of water and electrolytes xx

I'm tender when I move as well. Not so much the bladder thing but I have same when I poo - makes the discomfort go a bit I suppose because it frees up space! I would call clinic if it was a weekday but I think I have to wait until tomorrow morning unless it was an A&E situation, which I know it isn't. My main worry is that they'll tell me I can't go ahead with transfer! I hope you're alright for tomorrow as well ❤️ do you know what place you're at with embryos? I had 8 as of Thursday but they don't contact again until transfer day so that's nerve wracking too xx

I will mention it to them tomorrow morning but I think they'll say that's normal. I got an day 3 update yesterday and all 7 are still going but 3 are a bit slower. So hopefully a couple will make it to blasts. I'm so nervous, not sure how to feel. How are you feeling? I'm with Oxford TFP. Xxx
