Feeling deflated and very very bloated!

The good news - So I went for my final scan and just had the call from the clinic to confirm egg collection will definitely be Friday!!

The not so good news - my ovaries are very very stimulated, I’m really uncomfortable and starting to feel unwell so we are going to have freeze any viable embryos!

I know it’s the right thing to do so that I don’t get poorly with OHSS but I am gutted!!

Hi Polak. Oh dear, I'm sure you are upset, but hopefully you will get some decent embryos to freeze for when this episode is over. Start drinking plenty of water now, even though you are feeling bloated, and have a rest when you can. Your embryos, once created will be stored nice and safe waiting for transfer. Thinking of you.

No work for me for the rest of this week, I’m putting my feet up and getting on the fluids! Thank you 😊

Brilliant! xx

Hi Polak

I know it is frustrating at the moment but in the long run it means you are more likely to be successful when you do transfer. Think if everything your body, and mind, has been through in the last 6 weeks. Once you are recovered you will be in a much more healthy position to be able to allow implantation and a healthy pregnancy. Good luck with the ec. Xx

Thank you 😊 I know it’s the right approach to take as feeling so rubbish today just want to sleep x

in reply toPolak

Well do just that. You have been through an emotional roller coaster so it is completely understandable. And it is not over yet. If you feel like you need to sleep then listen to your body and sleep. Good luck and big hugs xx
