ohss and miserable

Hi. I'm totally new to this forum. just went thru IVF and got a BFP 5 days ago. totally happy and grateful to be pregnant--but I have moderate OHSS which makes me miserable on a day-to-day basis. my abdomen looks like i'm 5 months pregnant and feels sooo tight.  it's so hard to walk. I can only eat very small meals since larger meals make me throw up (likely due to the pressure of the abdominal fluid on my stomach.) trying to take in as much fluids as I can but still not peeing a whole lot. Anyone else have OHSS with pregnancy and feel somewhat miserable and down?  any advice? how long does this typically last?

thanks

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your BFP! I did my IVF last Spring, and although I wasn't diagnosed with OHSS, I think I probably did have a mild case. I never had a hard time walking, but I too felt like I looked 5 months pregnant from the very beginning. In my case at least, a lot of the bloating went away after I stopped the progesterone supplements at around 11 weeks, so hopefully that will be the case for you, too. Best wishes for a healthy, happy nine months!
