OHSS tips?

Question

So I officially found out today I am 3 weeks and 6 days pregnant via IVF round 2. I developed OHSS, I know that it can get worse and/or last longer, which it IS lasting, ugh... Any of you ladies get it and have any tricks besides pain medicine to help with the pain and bloating?

Answer

I’m sorry you’re going through this, I know the discomfort you’re feeling.
I was advised to sleep with several pillows and not to lie flat. Put a pillow under my knees too.
I also got told to avoid carbs and eat a high protein diet.
I’m now 9weeks pregnant but still suffering from OHSS it could take awhile to heal. 
My main issue is constipation and bloating. I’ve got pregnancy safe laxatives and trying to ensure I eat enough finer. 
Good luck x

Answer

I developed mild OHSS. My dr said drink lots of electrolytes so I drank a lot of Gatorade.. I also monitored my blood pressure. One other thing, I had my retrieval the same week that my region of Germany experienced a spike in covid, it’s important to keep yourself safe, my dr believed with OHSS I’d be at higher risk IF I caught it. He consulted twith all his colleagues and the ob/gyno in the university hospital to determine this 🤷🏻‍♀️ better safe than sorry
