Mild ohss?

Question

I think the trigger gave me mild OHSS. I have gained 6# since Friday, am bloated and have mild nausea as well as pain mostly last night (hoping was ovulation). No issues with using the restroom , breathing or keeping food down and was able to sleep after took Tylenol. I don’t know if I bother the pa on call or ride it out the worse is over after you ovulate?

Answer

When I used a trigger shot for IUI I had symptoms similar to what you’re experiencing. My nurse said it was likely due to ovulating 3 eggs and that I had fluid in my abdomen from that. It took 4-5 days to get better. My symptoms of OHSS after IVF were the same but on a much bigger scale. Severe pain, non-stop vomiting, etc. hopefully you start to feel better soon!

Answer

What was your trigger, HCG or Lupron? So you know what your levels were prior to retrieval? I’m experiencing same as you and I’m being monitored for OHSS. 🙈🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Hmm I’d check with the dr just in case. Had you done trigger before (in a prior month) or taken any fertility meds prior to the trigger shot?

Answer

If you are gaining more than two lbs a day it could be a sign. Any difficulty breathing? Are you drinking lots of fluids (my clinic suggested one gallon/ day)? Gatorade and salty food can help with the bloating. Also, suggest sleeping with an incline.
