i was hoping that some of you could tell me your stories of OHSS. so far i have had two procedures to drain the fluid from my abdomen and it came back again! i have to go tomorrow for another procedure and possibly hosptialization b/c i'm not urinating enough. i'm scared! if i am pregnant how could i possibly stay pregnant through all of this? how long is this going to last? if HCG is triggering OHSS and it should keep rising with pregnance, then i'm doomed right (if i am pregnant)?
i was hoping any of you with experience with this could share your stories so i know what to expect. thanks in advance for your help.
Where are you at in your cycle? When did you trigger? When did you transfer, and what stage were the embryos?
Good news: OHSS has little or no impact on pregnancy, in fact, it correlates with a good outcome.
Even with a pregnancy, OHSS will eventually fade over a few weeks. However, you might ask your doctor about cabergoline. It seems to block the effect of VEGF in increasing vascular hyperpermeability. That hyperpermeability is the cause of OHSS. It's been used that way in Spain for years, and many clinics in the US are starting to use it.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.
