OHSS

by cheesy-spoosh, Feb 19, 2007 12:00AM
I feel so torn.  I have been miserable, but the longer i feel the symptoms, the more likely it is that i am pregnant.  After sitting with my feet up for three days and four nights, the pressure is finally starting to leave and my upper abdomen is getting softer and not as round.  Has anyone ever had OHSS where their symptoms got better, but they were still pregnant?  It is likely i will get OHSS every cycle that we try.  This is horrible. I kept telling myself it was worth it if i got pregnant, now it looks like i am not.  My RE says i still need to sit with my feet up and limit my fluids to under 40 oz of gaterade or v-8 juice.  My two weeks is up next monday.

It is ovarian hyper stimulated syndrome. . . basically your ovaries and follicles fill with fluid, and spill out into your abdomen and lungs.  Not fun.
