Post Egg Collection Symptoms...

[Affinity289]

Hi Ladies,

My first post, since starting treatment so big hi to y'all 👋🏾

Wondered if any of you are or did feel like crap warmed up, after egg collection?

I've been feeling so drained and run down like I'm ill. Symptoms are dizziness, nausea, fatigue, abdo soreness inc rectal pain (similar to that I get with period). The bloating is gradually going down after I had some acupuncture yesterday. However defo feel depleted!

I called my clinic yesterday as Antibiotics that I was told to take, were giving me an upset stomach. I mentioned my other symptoms to the Nurse but they said it was likely due to progesterone pessaries...

Feel as though I could pass out due to tiredness and dizziness since collection on Monday.

I take a pre-biotic to for gut flora as part of my regular supplements.

Would be grateful to hear how some of you are doing and if you're having a similar experience. If so what helped? Getting more rest than usual so definitely taking it easy and being kind to myself.

Positive beams*

Hi, thanks for your reply. I ended up on hospital after being ill with OHSS.

It was really scary and felt absolutely awful.

Hope you're feeling well*

Hi sorry to hear you had OHSS. That does sound awful you poor thing. I felt better after a few days thankfully.

Glad to hear that.

I had no idea of how impactful OHSS can be, leaving some of us feeling so ill.

Good that you're feeling better and wishing you well.

I felt horrendous after my egg collection last year- physically and emotionally. I was also dizzy and tired and had abdominal pain. I didn't quite expect to feel so bad so if I have to go through it again I would definitely set aside a good 5 days to rest up. Hope you feel better x

Thank you, my symptoms were pretty bad and required hospital admission due to OHSS. Hope your journey was positive*
