I got OHSS after my retrieval and ended up being hospitalized. I missed my transfer date and had to do an FET 3 months later. Took about 3 weeks for the bloat to go away, but about 8 weeks to get energy back.Had a successful FET in January, I'm almost 17 weeks!

I'm 11 weeks now and still bloated. At my last ultrasound both ovaries were still quite large with multiple cysts. Wondering when/if they will go down??

I'm going through the same thing--how are you doing? Did they go down?

I was super bloated too and still kind of am at 9 weeks. My left ovary was huge at 6 weeks. They didn't mention it at my last one so I think it's gone down a little. The bloating is awful.

I also had horrible OHSS. I had to miss a week or work and get fluid drained two times! After 3 weeks post egg retrieval I'm finally starting to feel better. I'm only 5 weeks but the bloat looks like I'm 6 months. Hard to hide!!

Amy same here! I'm now 5 weeks and looks like I'm 7 months prego. I had severe constipation on top of it and thought I was going to die from pain!

Yes, my bloat has gone down a lot, I'm still 3 pounds heavier but I feel much better. I'm almost 6 weeks now so just enjoying not feeling like crap for a while :)

I had that too! It lasted until I was about 6 weeks then I woke up one morning and it felt normal again. On ultrasounds my ovaries are still HUGE but they say that's normal. It is uncomforable during ultrasounds but otherwise doesn't bother me. I'm 9 weeks today and the bloating is gone and I have a tiny bump. I hope it gets better for you!
