I am freaking myself out
I don't know what to think of this discomfort I'm feeling in my abdomen area. I am sore and it hurts a bit to sit down. I don't know if I just overdid it (I walked around for a bit today at the store) and am paying for it now, or if I do have a mild case of OHSS. I have my transfer tomorrow and am sitting here in tears thinking about going and them telling me they can't do it Dr. K. said that my ovaries would swell up again by Friday and that I would get some bloating (he said that was normal) - maybe that's just it?? I know I could call the doctor, but I am going in the morning and there's really nothing they can do at this point. They monitored me so carefully and there were no signs of OHSS before my ER. I need to calm down

Re: I am freaking myself out
First of all, calm down... Secondly, OHSS doesn't show until after retrieval. But, that doesn't mean it's OHSS and it certainly doesn't mean you won't transfer. I had severe OHSS and did a three day transfer. There's not a whole lot you can do about it at this point anyway. The HCG trigger is what brings it on. REST, drink lots of Gatorade/water mixture and REST. Try to stay off your feet as much as possible for the next few days.
Good luck...

Thank you, Gerty. You are ALWAYS so helpful.
I had my ER on Tuesday and they retrieved 14 eggs. I felt okay yesterday, but today my stomach is a little bloated and my stomach area is sore. I am just so worried that my 3dt won't go as planned tomorrow when I go for my appointment. I know I might be overreacting, but I don't know what I would do if I've come this far only to have it canceled.
They'll do a transfer even if I have a mild case of OHSS??

They will most likely do the transfer. Honestly, even if they didn't - all you would do is wait until AF arrrives and do a cryocycle. IMO, that's probably better anyway since, if you do hyperstim AND end up getting PG, the OHSS gets much worse before it would get better. But, that is worst case scenario.
Think Positive!!
