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..
Myturn I've had mild OHSS both fresh cycles. This last time I had stomach pain and bloating and I was also throwing up. My FS wasn't too concerned but was happy to see me if I was worried. I was on Digesic tablets from EPU to help with the OHSS. I had 24 at EPU. My pain was "manageable" with the digestic, panadol and a heatpack.
They tell you to get heaps of protein. Things like nuts etc... Also if you can get yourself some Hospital grade sustagen as that has a high protein content. Also drink heaps of water they like you to have 2-3 litres from memory. I hate water so always struggled with that.
I rang the nurse and she said.... Yes.... I have to take the pregnyl.... To late to swap now.... And I should expect it to get worse..(great). I need to monitor and if I feel nauseous at all to call them and they will have to speak to the dr.
Told me to drink lots of water... And high fibre to 'stay regular'.
Here's hoping it's manageable for the next couple of weeks...
