Jules, how long since transfer? I wouldn't necessarily expect to get OHSS with 11 eggs collected, but I think it depends more on hormone levels than egg numbers. It's entirely possible that it could be OHSS setting in a bit later as the HCG levels in early pregnancy make it worse.

Hi Jules

Hi Scooby! I hadn't realised you got to transfer - well done! I'm glad you beat the dreaded OHSS in the end!

my transfer is scheduled for tomorrow. I let the nurse know about my symptoms and they want me to do a blood test when i get there to check levels.
Would they cancel or delay a transfer even if it was mild OHSS?

I'm not entirely sure how severe things have to be before they send all embryos to the freezer, but I do know that OHSS gets worse with pregnancy, and the times that I've had it bad enough to not be able to transfer... there's no way in hell I'd have coped if it got worse! Think a week or so in hospital, having to have fluid drained off your belly (I never got that bad, fortunately!)... worst case scenario is that they have to terminate the pregnancy to keep you alive. If they are suggesting that transfer be delayed and all embryos go to the freezer - don't fight it! They are acting in your best interest, really.
