Do you know what your E2 levels were pre-pick up? If you are in that much pain, it would be a very good idea to call your clinic.

I've been through OHSS a total of three times from three different stim cycles and I can tell you that it's something you REALLY don't want to mess with!

The first two times I didn't get to transfer. I spent three weeks off work the first time. The second time was a week in hospital and over a month off work.

The third time... my clinic decided that my levels were fine for me to go to transfer (but it was borderline and they'd taken me to EPU a day early in order to help me get my first fresh transfer). This one worked - but the day before my blood test I got hit with unbelievable abdominal pain... my blood test was positive and I had severe ovarian pain right through until about 15-16 weeks of pregnancy. That was a MILD case!

Honestly, if your clinic thinks it's OHSS and is recommending you skip transfer - definitely go the freeze all cycle. It's just not worth messing with your health and your life in such a way.

On another note - day 2 or 3 after EPU has always been the worst for me in terms of OHSS symptoms. If it gets too bad, don't be afraid to go to hospital, it's the best place for you.

Sorry... probably not the reassurance you wanted!
