[Del92]

Hi Del92. Oh dear not what you need! Make sure you drink plenty of water, around 3 litres a day for a few days. Take paracetamol for any pain, unless you have been prescribed something else. No anti inflammatories such as ibuprofen. Keep an eye on urine output and if it lessens and/or you become breathless, then see a doctor or go to A & E as soon as possible. Hopefully it will improve in a few days. Hope you soon feel better. Diane

To be honest I haven't been drinking much water and since I found out I was pregnant 2 days ago, I been eating a lot more carbs, letting it slip a bit but have abdominal pain and bloated but it does go down at times. I'm gonna ring the clinic Monday. I'm not in pain enough to take meds, just uncomfortable xxx

Kc21 is right! Milk and water, you don't want to get constipated. Litte "bean" will be fine, I'm sure, but good idea to have a check up on Monday as you suggest. Have a good rest meantime. Thinking of you. Diane

Could I go to a/e and they have a look at the bloating and tell me if I have ohss?

[DianeArnold Partner Nurse Fertility Network UK in reply to Del92]

Yes they can from blood test and maybe scan too. Diane

It's way better now but defo ringing the hospital Monday to get checked out.

[DianeArnold Partner Nurse Fertility Network UK in reply to Del92]

As long as it's settling down you should be ok. It's a long time since your egg collection so all should soon be ok. Defo get a check up though on Monday. You know what to look out for now, so just try not to worry and get to bed early! Diane

Thank you, I just worry, what's your opnion on caffeine and intercourse before 6 week scan don't think I'm gonna bother on eaither x

[DianeArnold Partner Nurse Fertility Network UK in reply to Del92]

No caffeine, and gentle love making, no "rough stuff" until at least 12/40wks. Diane

[Del92 in reply to DianeArnold]

No caffeine till 12 weeks?

[Se99 in reply to Del92]

No caffeine during pregnancy, switch to decaf and avoid things like coke with it in. Hope you're feeling better soon, lots of fluids and healthy fresh diet. Another lady on here recommended coconut water, she said she had a full carton one day and felt better the day after x

The reason being, is that your little ones brain and spinal cord is developing during this time, and too risky having anything that could become habit forming. Just a little after that. Diane

I have mild ohss and hospitalized won't affect baby will it there was a heartbeat? What shall I do there unsure x

Milk and water ... lots of it !

I've found that any cravings for tea have completely disappeared as I feel so sick anyway but had been on decaf tea since prior to EC - I just think it's one of the small things you can cut out to help you feel more in control! I've been drinking lots of fresh mint tea though and that has really helped get the bloating down and it helps with sickness too x
