I lookedd 6 months pregnant by the end of the weekend and felt rotten.... went to work on monday, but by tuesday I couldn't hack it, saw the nurse and got the rest of the week off work. Was so worth it, just sitting on the couch all day for a week.... it was a relief... but like others, I felt terrible and was so bloated. things settled down by the end of july, but then I noticed a couple of days before blood test I was feeling a bit more bloated than before. Yes, on the 2nd August, my blood test came out positive! HCG was a little low (only 46), but another test 4 days later doubled nicely to 194, and then by the following thursday it was 544.... so now I am coming into 6 weeks pregnant!! all last week I noticed the bloating was still there, and was coughing a bit (the nurse said this may be the OHSS putting pressure on me). It hs only been the last two days that I have noticed the symptoms have reduced, and now I am anxious that it means the HCG isn't rising quickly enough!!! <br /><br />I POAS this morning to double check and PHEW, there are still two lines ;) <br />It's a scary process, but I am hoping that the OHSS doesn't HAVE to stick around - I am sure every case is different though. <br />Good luck everyone!!Katenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23893411.post-18643184953637592042008-02-09T16:39:00.000-08:002008-02-09T16:39:00.000-08:00hey nana, if i had any advice would love to help, ...hey nana, if i had any advice would love to help, my wife having the same issue on ohss, she had her 5day embroyo transfer done and waithing for conformation on pregnacy result, her stomach is well bloated and hard on stomach and coming to the near chest, she looks 4mnts preg and hardly eating well, but docs says to drink 3 lt of fluids and have lots of rest. i am very concern bout her and if any 1 have advice to cure it the let us know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23893411.post-27988753655082298542007-11-06T17:33:00.000-08:002007-11-06T17:33:00.000-08:00does anyone know how long OHSS usually lasts? min...does anyone know how long OHSS usually lasts? mine is getting worse and didn't begin until after the transfer. in fact i've had a positive pregnancy test and the OHSS is at it's worst. i look 7 months pregnant and it's humiliating. any tips?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23893411.post-1150226246649820812006-06-13T12:17:00.000-07:002006-06-13T12:17:00.000-07:00That stinks!

Absolutely no further advice. Oh wait, did anyone say protein shakes yet?<BR/><BR/>Stories:<BR/><BR/>1. Girl I know from message board got hospitalised for OHSS and a BFN. Next cycle got OHSS, no hospitalisation, faster resolution and a BFP. Co-incidence? Absolutely. <BR/><BR/>2. Even that scary story I heard about the OHSS that went on for 6 weeks when the gal was pregnant? At the end of the day, she concluded it was all worthwhile.<BR/><BR/>3. But I do want to scare you a little bit, because please don't do anything dangerous and gung-ho. I've had OHSS. I don't recommend it.<BR/><BR/>Also - I found symptoms did wax and wane over the day.<BR/><BR/>BeaBeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11877513815828460269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23893411.post-1150184083229338952006-06-13T00:34:00.000-07:002006-06-13T00:34:00.000-07:00Utrus - Sounds like you've got control of things. ...Utrus - Sounds like you've got control of things.

I also had ovaries the size of grapefuits until about the 11th week or so.<BR/><BR/>Take it easy and slow and best of luck to you!!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01781454327470293464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23893411.post-1150168791621662542006-06-12T20:19:00.000-07:002006-06-12T20:19:00.000-07:00I had mild OHSS that seemed quite miserable the da...I had mild OHSS that seemed quite miserable the day before and day of my 5-day transfer... my ovaries were actually so big from my 27 follicles that two nurses and the doctor were ooh-ing and ahh-ing over them during the ultrasound for the transfer! But actually, nothing ever got much worse after that. I actually thought toward the end of that week that there was no way I could be pregnant since my ovaries hadn't been painful. Mine have occasionally given me minor pain since then (as recently as last week!), and even at my 8 week ultrasound they were not quite normal size yet although they were finally going down.<BR/><BR/>So there is my story. There is a possibility that they could get worse before they get better, but you could also be like me and not have too much of a problem after all is said and done.<BR/><BR/>Praying for tomorrow!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
