Default OHSS question - EPU this week

Hi everyone,

I'm scheduled for EPU on Friday, and my doctor said I am potentially at risk of OHSS. I currently have about 13 follies (quite a few around 14mm and a few which are more mature), estrogen around 2000-3000 and I also have PCOS. My doctor has said that depending on what he finds on Friday, we may need to freeze any embryos which result, and do a frozen transfer next cycle.

Has anyone been in this situation? How do they decide whether the risk is high enough not to proceed with the transfer? And is there anything I can do to prevent OHSS? I know I need to drink lots of water and eat protein....

I thought OHSS only occurred in the case of very large numbers of follicles...

Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

TIA!
