Ohss or side effects from cyclogest?

In day 3 and 4 since egg collection i feel worse not better, very lathargic, hot flushes and generally uncomfortable. I had a lot of eggs collected so wondering if this might be ohss? Although I've been reading online about side effects of cyclog est (which I'm now on) and wondering if this could be the culprit?x

I'm now 7dp 5dt & wondering the same. I know last time my hot flushes with cyclogest were very bad and this time I'm uncomfortable, can't fit into my clothes & have a sore back (although not a symptom from either). I really hope it's not ohss🤞 xx

Hi Core. It could be that your ovaries are still a bit active. Make sure you continue to drink plenty of water, to ensure your urine is pale in colour. If your urine output goes down or you become breathless, you need to be seen by a doctor. Hope all soon settles. Diane

Thanks both, I saw the doctor today and he said sounds like mild OHSS, as they have lots of good quality blastocysts they advised freezing them and coming back in a few months which is what we have gone with. Good luck in your 2ww Rainbowbright1 xx
