Extreme pain after egg retrieval ? Any advice?

Question

Today went well they retrieved 19 eggs but up until the part where the heavy pain meds wore off now I can hardly walk or stand up and whenever I go to pee I feel crampy. I also feel really bloated I did have a bm but it hurt so bad. 
I don’t know what to do I feel horrible. 
Of coarse I’m not complaining because my embryos mean everything to me but I just want to know if there’s anything you did to help pain reduce and get back to normal. I feel so bloated and uncomfortable. And it’s almost hurting to breath because I’m so full of air it feels like.

Answer

Call your doc. You want them to know in case they want to monitor you or if you’re at risk for ohss

Answer

I would notify your doctor to make sure it’s not OHSS. Also make sure you are drinking lots and lots of Gatorade!!! Add a stool softener too; the constipation was the worst for me. I didn’t find out until later constipation is a common side effect.

Answer

I felt the exact same way and was so nervous about it! It passed about a week later each day getting a little better but the first 3 days were horrible. Your body has just been through so much! If you’re really worried call your on call nurse! Good luck!

Answer

After you check to make sure it's not OHSS, I had good relief from compression.  I wore Spanx type shorts afterwards.

Answer

Same happened with me it’s from overstimulation 
If you want my advice, don’t do fresh transfer,I did and end up chemical 
Good luck

Answer

Hey, I felt exactly like this in July last year. I then had a fresh transfer and developed severe OHSS. So like the other poster said, speak to your consultant and let them know how you feel.
