OHSS experiences

[ourtimewillcome56]

After my egg collection 2 days ago (30 eggs collected) I developed quite severe abdominal pain and swelling. I haven't got PCOS but was told I was at risk of OHSS due to those numbers from retrieval. 2 days later I'm still in hospital with confirmed moderate OHSS but hoping to go home soon. I'm wondering if anyone else had similar experiences or positive words after getting through this pain?

Hi, I had the same with my second egg collection we got around 27 eggs which we weren’t expecting so had to do a freeze all due to risk of OHSS, I was ill for a few days after with vomiting etc but thankfully didn’t have to stay in hospital and I recovered at home a few days later. I had my transfer done a couple of months later and I was so glad I waited as I felt really well in myself and it felt so much easier than the transfer I had after my first fresh cycle which failed due to all the additional medication your on and recovering from egg collection and it resulted in my now beautiful 9 month baby boy.

That's so similar to me. Changed to a frozen instead of fresh transfer but as you say, I'm hoping I will feel well in myself by then for it to happen. I'm so pleased to hear a positive story, being in the midst of OHSS is not pleasant so it is really nice to hear everything worked out well for you! Thank you.
