I had pretty mild OHSS, but that was miserable enough. I hope you start feeling better soon.<br />KKerrikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13206990230707526604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1715200823630375115.post-40401701389368424912011-09-14T18:17:57.779-05:002011-09-14T18:17:57.779-05:00You poor thing : ( Hope you get to feeling better....You poor thing : ( Hope you get to feeling better.

From what I understand, sometimes they can be too heavy handed with the anesthesia. And sometimes the doctor doing the retrieval can be a little rough with you, because 'what the heck...she's sleeping'. Did you have the same doc doing your retrieval? <br /><br /> I had a mild case of OHSS with my first two transfers. It made me a little short of breath and my abdomen was very tender. Drink lots of Gatorade and/or V8, but not regular water or caffeine. Watch your urine output and your breathing. If you are drinking a lot of Gatorade but you stop peeing, and you have trouble taking a full breath, get yourself to a doctor/emergency room quickly. <br /><br /> That is a great number of eggs. And an even greater number of embryos. Amazing!!!! You outdid yourself BIG time :)Chickenpighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09442755180328605920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1715200823630375115.post-44201946826745330392011-09-14T12:02:47.031-05:002011-09-14T12:02:47.031-05:00TEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did they ever do an ultrasound of your ovaries while you were in the ER? Have you ever heard of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovarian_hyperstimulation_syndrome" rel="nofollow">OHSS (Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome)</a>? I read about it on another woman's blog and this sounded similar to that (only thankfully, not as extreme as her case). I don't want to worry you further, but I want to make sure you're okay! I'm also not entirely educated of all the processes of IVF and IUI, so I might be completely wrong... I just wanted to say something just in case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1715200823630375115.post-46253352856571951112011-09-14T10:45:31.499-05:002011-09-14T10:45:31.499-05:00Wow!
