Anyone canceled due to OHSS?

Post by christiedawn »

I have a feeling that I have a mild case of OHSS. Dizzy, nausaus, bloated, hurting, etc.

My ER was Monday and I have increasingly became more bloated and sore. I have gained three pounds since Monday.

BUT I feel like my case is mild.

I talked to RE today, because of the long distance I went to my local doctor to get vitals checks, blood count, and UTinfection checked.

The doctor told me according to how I feel they may push back ET to a 5 day if possible.

I don't want to get a more severe case, but I really want to make it to ET too.

Anyone ever been in a similar case??

Might be OHSS. As you know, OHSS can get much worse. Keep your clinic informed.

Whether you get a transfer on day 3 or 5 makes no difference to the OHSS, but the longer they wait, the longer they have to see if your symptoms progress to a more severe case. If they do, then your transfer just might be cancelled.

OHSS is caused by the hCG from the trigger shot and can be continued and made worse by the much greater levels of hCG that result from from a pregnancy.
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.
