How did you reduce risk of OHSS?

Question

I’m very high risk. Tell me what helped you to avoid or minimize OHSS so I can advocate for myself! <3 thanks

Answer

Unfortunately it’s not something you can avoid, if it’s going to happen it’s going to happen. Best of luck to you!

Answer

A heating pad helped me, unfortunately it can’t be avoided 😕

Answer

My doctor changed my trigger from hcg to lupron which is supposed to minimize your risk. I also did a freeze all (which I planned on doing anyway for PGS testing.) I drank tons of fluids (Gatorade and water) starting during stims and continued after retrieval. Hope this helps, good luck 🍀

Answer

Meds were the only thing that really helped; some I began taking prior to retrieval, most the day of retrieval and after (as prescribed).

Answer

My doctor kept me on a low dose of meds. I’m sure it’s risky for everyone and just depends on the person. Some people might not respond well on a low dose even with a high AMH

Answer

I was prescribed caberline to help prevent it.

Answer

Agree with other commenter, I was high risk and did everything possible to avoid it, drank soooo much water, Gatorade pumped myself full of electrolytes and still got it after fresh transfer, pregnancy is what triggered it but you really can’t avoid it
