RECOVERY FROM ER

Ok I felt the need to make a post about this because recovery from egg retrieval has been ROUGH GIRLS! I have seen a lot of other ladies on here saying the same thing and I know people are constantly searching Glow for advice and what to expect. I am 4 days post egg retrieval and I am still in pain and look 5 months pregnant. Today is the first day that I felt any better (I actually do feel quite a bit better today) but days 1-3 were very bad hubby even took a day off to take care of me 😂 I have been chugging Gatorade and coconut water and eating ALL THE SALT and like I said day 4 I’m finally noticing improvement but I am nowhere near back to my regular self. I have just seen a lot of people before say they felt fine and they were back to work the next day and that has not been the case for me. I feel like I took that advice very seriously and therefore I was not prepared. I will share, I had 47 eggs retrieved which I know is a lot but I have seen a lot of other ladies on here with lower amounts retrieved who are still in an incredible amount of pain! I am also taking cabergoline to help offset OHSS symptoms and I truly feel like this has helped me a lot. Please share your recovery info below so we can help give insight to future IVFers who search this topic!
