Risk of OHSS

[julie m]

Hi all,<br>rang hospital today for results of blood test and have been told by one of the nurses that the oestrogen level is very high , and the scan has shown 32 follicles are growing.<br>I need another scan and blood test in the morning, but they have told me when they do the egg collection on monday they will probably fertilise they eggs and freeze them all without doing the embryo transfer.<br>Feeling p***** off at the moment because they said due to the excessive response to the drugs last time, they would monitor me carefully this time.<br>I started on 225ml of merional and i did question this at the time, saying it seem quite high to me. They said dont worry , were not doing to put you into ohss.but it looks like they very nearly have.If i dont have any embryos put back in this time, ive got to wait then for 3 months for things to retur to normal. <br>Any suggestions ? do i kick up a fuss and tell them that i tried to warn them about this, they sometimes make you feel like they are the experts, and your just the guinea pig.<br>Julie M

Hi Julie, firstly just wanted to say "hi" as haven't "spoken" to you for ages. I'd obviously not been concentrating as I hadn't realised how far along you'd got. <br><br>I'd say that the key thing at this time is to try not to stress (ha! ha! and that's easy - not!) so I wouldn't kick up a fuss yet, but if they do have to put the frosties in the freezer once they're safely there it seems to me that it is worse making a fuss. At our clinic the standard starting dose is 150, so 225 seems high to me too. <br><br>Hope it was better news this morning, and let us know how you got on.<br><br>Alison x

Hi Julie<br><br>Hope you dont mind me replying.<br><br>I had ma eggs out in Feb and i OHSS, but this was due to me having PCOS i was ill with it and couldnt get any off ma clothes on as i was swollen that much, it lasted for about 1week. Due to this i couldnt get eggs back as planned 2 days later so they froz them and i got them put back in May sounds a long time but it flys by honest i couldnt belive when it was time to get them in just felt like yestarday i had them out, and hay im now 6 and a half weeks Pregnant first try at IVF and we are both so happy cant belive our luck!!<br><br>So hang in their girl it will work im sure, for you and everyone on this site we all deserve it i know that much.<br><br>Love Louise x x x
