Still not feeling great post egg retrieval. Any ladies who had OHSS able to share what they were feeling when it happened?

Question

How long did it take after your retrieval before the bloating, cramping and just general discomfort went away? I’ve been so bloated, my stomach feels pretty hard (it’s normally soft lol) and I just feel so uncomfortable. Hoping that it goes away before my transfer.

Answer

It took me a week and a half for it to run its course. It was the most painful thing I’ve every experienced. I had to have fluid drained twice and get IV several times. Ended up in the emergency room, too. Sooooo glad that part is over!!

Answer

I developed a moderate form of OHSS post-retrieval and so my symptoms lasted for about a week. They were worst for the first 2-3 days and then got more manageable for the rest of the week. The first 2-3 days I was pretty much in bed or on the couch and could really only do liquids. After day 3 I was able to go back to work, but was moving very slowly and didn't do much walking, and was only eating a few solids. Hope you feel better very soon. OHSS is rough!

Answer

24-48 hours for me. The next day after ER I was back to work.
