OHSS starts with fluid rapidly moving from the bloodstream into the abdomen. You would notice your belly swelling ("bloated") with a lot of fluid, plus rapid weight gain with all that extra fluid. There can be more symptoms after these, but these are the first to watch for.
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.

You probably won't get OHSS if you haven't had symptoms already. Good luck on the beta.
I am an infertility nurse and I work in a major IVF facility. I am willing to answer questions and give guidance, however, since I am not treating you, only your physician can give you the most accurate information.

the symptoms are extreme bloating, trouble breathing, vomiting, abdominal pain, not urinating as frequently as normal... but I think they can tell from the blood tests if you are in danger of getting OHSS.
