OHSS question??

I'm going through my IVF cycle right now. I am on my tenth day of injections and I am worried about ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. I was paranoid about getting it last cycle too and I never did end up getting it. I have 14 follicles so far. Does OHSS usually become a possibility when someone has a lot more follicles than 14? I have heard that it usually is when someone has at least ten follicles on each side. I don't know what to think, and I wish I could stop worrying. I know it's not helping anything. Carisa

Thanks Miky,
I can't wait until I am done with this cycle! I have another ultrasound tomorrow morning. I will be told then when my retrieval will be. My RE is thinking I will do the HCG Tuesday  night, retrieval most likely Thursday morning, but I will find out for sure tomorrow. I can't wait!! Carisa

Carisa,
stop worrying.
I think you are fine I had 2 IVF-first one 15 follicles on each side no OHSS.
seconf time 12 each side and no OHSS.
I think 14 is a textbok number,so try to relax (I know how hard it is).when its you retrieval?
Good luck,
Miky
