Hi everyone,

I'm still in the TWW but like to see what's happening with all my friends in here. Hope you don't mind me hanging round!!

Bec- My first EPU I was in pain for a few days. This time round was really awful for me too. I had the same kind of pain you are describing. Right up under my ribs and in my shoulder.And I was so bloated I looked 4 months pg! It's actually wind believe it or not. They say that after EPU your ovaries are so bloated that somehow it creates wind. I was told to drink HEAPS of water, eat really small meals, avoid carbohydrates (which I never do and believe me it helped immensely) and to take a laxative called agarol. Within about 3 days of doing all this I felt amazingly better. Sorry if TMI but the best I felt would be if I could do lots of bottom burps so high fibre foods and the agarol will help you do that.
I started out just with terrible pain from the invasivness of the op then ended up like you are now. I was petrified of OHSS but it all passed doing what my clinic told me to. I hope the pain goes soon. I know how bad it is. Rest up if you can and take good care of yourself.

Everyone else, I hope you are cruising along well and for everyone who is back in here after BFN's, I'm so sorry. Stay strong and positive that next cycle will be the one for you.

Hugs Bel

Hope
