I just got back from OHSS draining...

in Infertility
It was intense. I wasn't able to go under anesthesia because I was vomiting all morning, so it was really painful. I was screaming a bit. My RE and the nurses were really nice and tried to be gentle. He drained 1/2 a liter. It looked like a lot more, though. I saw it in the buckets. Yuck. They gave me 4 bags of fluid to hydrate me. I feel a bit better, but still uncomfortable.
I go back in two days, Thursday, for him to check me again and if there is more fluid, he will drain me again. Unless I am super crazy uncomfortable tomorrow, I will go back.?
?I am a little nervous that it will come back really bad again, but I am being watched closely, so I trust my RE is doing what is best.??
I am going to take the rest of the week off from work to rest and get this under control. He told me to continue with the salty diet and hydrate a lot.?
I was shocked when he told me he only drains women around 4 times a year. I thought it would be more. Ugh, why me?!??
?
There will be no 5 day transfer on Thursday. Everything will be frozen. ?I am totally fine with that because there is no way I would go through a transfer while feeling like this. I know it is best for me, and I am okay with that. I will be asking a lot of FET questions soon, though, because I don't know much about it. So thanks in advance, lol.?
You girls are wonderfully, caring people. Thank you so much for your thoughts, from the bottom of my heart. ?

Re: I just got back from OHSS draining...
woah @ 1/2 a liter. I hope you start to feel better soon. Wishing you the best of luck for your FET.
Rest up and get to rehydrating!
Thank you IVF for our little miracles!!
I'm so sorry you had to go through that. You poor thing. I am glad they can freeze your embies and try with a FET. GL with your FET cycle. We are all here for you. Get some rest!

I feel so bad for you- that sounds horrible. I am glad they drained a lot off of you and you feel better now. Sounds like you are in good hands and being monitored so closely- which is wonderful and I hope the fluid doesn't come back.
Now you need to recover and rest. I'm sure your FET will go well whenever you guys decide to do it.

oh G-d I am so sorry you had to go through this. you poor thing
sending lots of T&Ps your way. ((((HUGS))))
Ohh, I am sorry you are just so miserable and the draining doesn't sound like so much fun. Hopefully thought you will get some relief soon. I think you made the right decision to go with a FET. They are much easier on your body (not as many meds) and you don't have to go through another ER.
I hope you feel better soon. XOXOXO

I am so so sorry you are going through this. Please know that it will get better. I too got severe OHSS with my first IVF cycle, and they drained me without putting me under. I know how terrible it is and I promise things will get better. Listen to your body and rest as much as you possibly can.
Thinking and praying for you!
