ovarian hyperstimulation

[rtbes]

I had egg retrieval done a couple of months ago and had to freeze e due to hyperstimuated. I am still well.. have fluid in my abdomine it's been about two months, went down (looked like 6 mon preg to 3 months)alot from the beginning though still there and have transfer next week. Is this normal , what will make it go away? the nurse said it'll take 3-4 months. I just would like to be aware of any complications I may face and or prevent and would love to do anything possible to get the fluid out now before transfer, it doesn't seem i'm losing anymore it's exactly the same day after day week after week, same weight and 3 mon looking belly , i've had 2 periods and still the same, thank you for any advice.

I presume that you had an ultrasound recently to make sure that there are no large ovarian cysts still present. I presume since you are going to have a transfer next week that the ultrasound shows that your ovaries are quiet and that you fluid is essentially gone.  If not, then you should discuss with your REI.
It will take some time if you still have significant fluid to have it resolved and so if you have significant fluid and/or ovarian cysts still persisting, I am surprised that you proceeding with a transfer.
