1. Ask your clinic about protein, particularly whey protein. It's often recommended along with Gatorade for reducing the effects of OHSS.
2. OHSS can worsen after implantation (the clinic transfers the embryos, the embryos may or may not implant, but if they do, it will be days later). Keep your clinic fully informed.
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.
