@basia- I am so jealous you will get to try naturally!! We will never get pregnant naturally due to DH's count and morph. They are just way too low. I guess a miracle could happen, but pretty sure IVF is our only way :-/ I pray you get some good news!

Brownie- I also had OHSS this month with IVF it can on right after the retrieval and got worse for about 2-3 weeks. I ended up taking a full month off work from it.
First it was the bloating which was horrible. I religiously drunk 2L of Gatorade each say (I hated it). I also wore compression support wear across my tummy and that helped relieve my straining stomach muscles.
When the bloating finally went down I started getting really dizzy and short of breath, most likely from the fluid on my lungs.
My estrogen and progesterone levels continued to go up until last week (I am now 7wks 1 day pregnant). My highest e2 was 37000 and my P2 was 680.
Luckily I never had the vomiting and could pee. So I ate as normal. I ended up losing 4kg I think just from drinking so much.
Anyway take it VERY easy and just get through it day by day.
The upside is I think your body gets used to the high hormone levels so I have yet to get any morning sickness 8 weeks in. Yeay upside!
I also have mild period pain all the time from the leftover cysts from egg retrieval ( my ovaries are still huge) and I often feel like i 'pull' the ligaments around my uterus. Obviously it is a lot less often then those first few weeks.
Hope you recover soon and good luck with it all.

OK, I need help. I'm CD16 today and still have not received a positive on the ovulation test. This is super late for me. I'm wondering if other than stress, can other things affect it like how we talk about semen count is affected when guys are sick or on antibiotics. Everything else seems normal. CM, twinges, moods, nothing new.

On another note, I finally got a consultation with a new RE on the 20th. I'm hoping to start with another IUI very soon!

Sorry red that has to be frustrating.

Gemma- I think I'm going to get some compression support- that's a great idea. I just got on the scale and I'm now up 10 lbs from Sunday and it's all in my stomach. My abs feel like they are tearing.

Browni - call your Dr tomorrow

Red - I will keep my fingers crossed for that positive OPK

Ladies did y'all have ib? Tomorrow is 7dpo, and I just want a sign lol

Browni, call your doctor now.

Browni- I think the other ladies r right and you should give your dr a call. I hope you start feeling better soon!
