OHSS question

kristyn831

So today I had my 7 day u/s and bw after starting stims.  I couldn't believe how many follies I saw, but I'm not an ultrasound tech so I wasn't totally sure what I was looking at.  The nurse called and said I have 15 follies over 10mm and E2 is 750.  She kept stressing that it's a lot of measurable follies this early on, rest, stay hydrated, blah, blah.  I'm starting to feel cramping but I'm not really bloated yet.  

Has anyone else responded like this?  Did you end up doing ok?  I've been googling but I'll just make myself crazy.  I'm on gonal-f 225 for stims and cetrotide 0.25 for antagonist.  I'm going to continue on the same dose but they might adjust my trigger.  I hope I'm just worrying about nothing.

Your E2 is still nice and low. I wouldn't worry yet. 

Thanks! I guess that's what they're worried about - despite my estrogen level being low, I have a lot of follies they can measure already. We'll see what happens Wednesday.

I wouldn't worry too much at this point.  My last cycle I stimmed for 8 days, on day 7 I had 25 follicles over 12mm.  We retrieved 27 eggs, 17 mature. I didn't develop OHSS, though my nurse did mention if I felt any fluid buildup that they would start me on antihistamines to help dry it up.

Wow, that's a lot! Makes me feel better. I got excited when she said 15 but then her stressing that it's a lot made me wonder. Thanks for the response!

Yup no worries! I actually triggered after 7 days of stims and had 22 retrieved. I don't remember my E2 but it was significantly higher and I was fine.
