Hi myturn,

I had OHSS. It started with the same kind of bloating upper abdo - I have only done one egg collection cycle so I'm not sure what the pain is like post pick up for people who don't get OHSS if that makes sense... I had bad pain around my uterus and also the upper abdo, FS put me on panadeine forte.

You've gotten way further than me - I wasn't allowed to have a fresh transfer - because of the OHSS. I never got any nausea which is what I was also told to look out for - just the pain and swelling.

It settled down after about 3 days. My FS told me to drink lots of water and stay off my feet for a few days. The reason my cycle was cancelled was because FS didn't want me to have the pregnyl (at the time I wished I had just shut my mouth and not said anything, sucked up the pain so my cycle didn't get cancelled). In hindsight he would've seen the swelling and cancelled me anyway I reckon!

Good luck - fingers crossed it doesn't become OHSS and this is your lucky cycle. My only advice is if your worried - dont necessarily wait for the nausea before calling your clinic - that's what I did and the nausea didn't come..
