Egg Retrieval question!

Nik

Hey ladies! I had my egg retrieval on Monday! They were able to get 20 eggs! And as of today, 10 embryos are looking beautiful, which I am so thankful for!

But on another note, I am still so uncomfortable, sore, crampy, and mostly, constipated (I know, TMI!) I’ve gone very little on Tuesday and today, but the gas pains I feel from this on top of whatever soreness I still feel from the retrieval is just crazy! Not to mention, I was also a little constipated prior from all the injections and stuff. My doctors office said it’s normal and to keep taking miralax, which I did yesterday and will again tonight. Also using heating pad as well, which helps! But has anyone ever felt this lousy still at this point after their egg retrieval? It’s been 3 days and I am still taking my prescription pain meds. I didn’t take any Monday because I think I was still feeling the pain meds they gave me during the procedure and then Tuesday I was trying to just take Tylenol. I went to work Tuesday (shouldn’t have - it was agony) and then stayed home yesterday. When I am laying down and resting its not too bad. I hurt the most when I’m walking and moving! Ugh! I am staying hydrated and peeing constantly. I am thinking maybe I also have mild OHSS, but not severely, according to the symptoms they say to watch for.

I guess I am just reaching out to see if anyone else has experience the same sort of discomfort as I am? Thank you in advance!
