Hi All,
So aside from feeling like free willy I’m trying to focus on the positives. I have lots of folicles and many are 15-19mm. My EG is scheduled for Wednesday and I’ve just taken my last ovitrelle injection!
When I was at the scan today the doc said that I’m extremely likely going to get OHSS as I have around 40 folicles. This also means they won’t do a fresh transfer. Does anyone know why? I’m assuming is due to my health rather than they can’t physically do it? I’m absolutely gutted as I might have to wait 2 weeks for the ET. Plus they’ve told me that I’ll have to be monitored extremely closely and the chances of an overnight stay in hospital are very high.
Getting very freaked out about the post EG now and the pain from the OHSS. It never rains but it pours eh!? 😣
Wow 40 folicles is a lot! I’d say you’re doing the right thing in trying to stay positive and focusing on the fact you will have a lot of eggs when collection day comes.
I was told that if a transfer is successful it can increase the OHSS or mean that it lasts for longer (because of all the hormones your body releases during pregnancy) so I think if they decide not to do the transfer it will be for your health and probably to give you the best fighting chance of a successful pregnancy when you do have a transfer.
I suffered with OHSS post egg collection but nothing severe enough to be hospitalised. It’s not pleasant, but it helped me to think that this too will pass. Give yourself and your body time to heal.
I’ve got all my fingers and toes crossed for you that things go smoothly on Wednesday and you don’t suffer at all or too badly with OHSS. Xx
