How long does post ER soreness last?

theworms · April 2010

Any suggestions to make it go away faster?

MontyMrs · April 2010

I'm sorry that you're still feeling sore honey, I'm usually feeling much better within a day or so.

Have you tried tylenol? I know you've been doing the heating pad.

Villo24 · April 2010

I was just a little sore the day of ER and by the day after, I barely had any soreness.

I hope yours goes away really really soon!

gidge · April 2010

I don't have suggestions to make it go away faster, but my soreness lasted a good 2 or 3 days. I didn't feel completely "right" again until a couple days after that (it seemed like I felt off longer than most ladies do).

I just caught up on your news from yesterday - those are some great fert numbers!! I hope you feel better really soon!

mine only lasted about a day or two after. Just try to stay off your feet if you can, that seemed to help me. GL! And congrats again on the awesome retrieval and fert report.

I'm sorry your feeling so crappy. 2 Tylenol worked for me - Sorry I don't have better advice Sad

I've been taking 1000mg tylenol every 4 hours and using heating pad but D told me I was cooking my insides leaving it on so long

I felt bad for a day or two. Then, I felt quite a bit better, except I had horrible gas pains (sorry if TMI) for almost a week. Hope you feel better!

Wormsie - that's WAY too much tylenol. The maximum you should have in 1 day is 4000mg. If you're taking 1000mg, you shouldn't be taking it any more often than every 6-8 hours.

You can absolutely use the heating pad as much as you like until ET. Tell mr worms to stuff it. Stick out tongue

Unfortunately, i believe the rule is the more eggs you get, the more sore you'll feel. I know i felt considerably worse this time compared to last time and it was 3 days until I was myself again (yet still a little bloated).

Can you take another day off of work, and just rest?

Hope you feel better soon.

Can you take another day off of work, and just rest? I went in to work yesterday I should have stayed home instead.

I just called out, I can't imagine putting on real clothes and driving in

Hope you feel better soon. Thanks cutie

Other than staying home and using a heating pad, I don't have any other advice...sorry I hope you feel better soon ((( hugs ))).

GenRN45 · April 2010

worms - you're a much better woman than i am. No way would i have been able to go to work the day after my ER.

Glad you're going to be able to rest up today.

anangelbug · April 2010

I don't know for sure but I would say rest up as much as possible, stay off your feet if you can and no bending, lifting etc. And maybe you could switch from Tylenol to Ibuprofen? Or a stronger prescribed narcotic (my RE prescribed Tylenol 3 but I didn't need it since I didn't stim and only had one follie). Rest up, hope you feel better soon!

MrsP71506 · April 2010

I am sorry that you are so sore. Unfortunately for me the only thing that made it feel better was time.

Keep resting up and I hope you feel better soon!

MrsAMR · April 2010

Sorry you're still sore.

Today I finally feel pretty much back to normal.

Tylenol, heating pad, rest. Oh, and (TMI) maybe a stool softener and some gas-x. I know once I had a bm I felt much, much better!

hopefulmommy · April 2010

No experience here. But I'm sorry you're in pain

i know it'll all be worth it for you!!

svp1537 · April 2010

Did they give you a prescription pain killer? My RE always gave me one before walking out the door, and although I never had it filled, I am sure it would help (I am scared of painkillers, so I won't take them). I was usually sore a day or two after, but by the time I went in for my transfer, I was feeling better.

I hope you start feeling better soon! Any fert report today?

j11skate · April 2010

No suggestions but feel better soon Wormsie!

No real advice, but I hope you feel better soon!

Bradbride · April 2010

Hope you feel better soon!

deputysgirl · April 2010

what seemed to make me feel the best was to stay off my feet. If I laid around I'd start to feel better, but if I got up and started doing things I felt worse. I hope you feel better soon!!

applegator34 · April 2010

I ended up with OHSS so I was sore and bloated for about 2 weeks. I finally started to feel better about 5 days after my ET, which should have been my first clue that I wasn't going to see a BFP. Feel better soon!

Jenniemarie111 · April 2010

My RE gave me Tylenol w/codeine to take in combination with an ice pack, for some reason the cold helped me feel better rather than heat. Hope you feel better

KISSIES · April 2010

i found not pushing myself too much with walking etc and keep hydrated with my powerade seemed to help along with the tylenol. congrats on your count! Hope you feel better before ET Smile
