OHSS

Post by krista »

I'm trying to figure out if I have OHSS. Within a couple of days after my eggs were implanted, I noticed my stomach increasing in size. I'm just under 6 weeks and I look as if I'm between 2-3 months pregnant. My feet and hands are normal and I can't tell that I have gained weight any where else. I had my right tube removed a few months ago and supposedly that was the cause of all my miscarriages. We implanted two embryos and I believe that both of them implanted. I am hoping that I am just pregnant with twins and that would be the reason for the increased size of my abdomen. I'm trying to figure out if this is a symptom of OHSS (I don't have any other symptoms) or if it could just be my body reacting to pregnancy. Any suggestions?

I agree to talk to your RE. When I had mild OHSS I did have a bigger belly than normal. The main symptom I noticed though was shortness of breath. I felt like I couldn't keep my breath and kept yawning all the time. Good luck to you...Baby Dust!
