On the BW front...

Carla, BW has developed OHSS following her stim cycle. for some reason, her body produces massive amounts of estrogen during the stim cycle, and after the trigger shot, she has become rather ill. as you read, her ovaries are very large, and painful. she has gained about 2kg in weight in a couple of days from the fluid retention, and yesterday afternoon this was starting to impact her breathing a little. after her husband got home last night, they contacted the clinic (she had no choice, i was going to do it for her if he didn't!!) who referred her to the after hours GP for pain relief. after that visit, she was admitted to hospital - i got a message at about 3.45 this morning letting me know she'd been admitted and was on the ward.

it's a couple of hours since i've heard from her, so i'm not sure how she's doing this afternoon, but last update was that she was still in pain, having things pumped into her - and apologising for the way her embies are behaving - even in pain, she's still concerned about how i'm feeling and making sure she doesn't hurt my feelings - she's definitely a gem!

when i get more info, i'll post in here to let you know how she's travelling. at this stage, it looks to be several days before she comes home - and i think we'd all agree it's better she's in hospital getting treatment than struggling at home through this!

ETA - melsta - having her embies continuing as they are is very good news!
