Follie check

AmandaMacD · March 2011

I have 22 follies. HOLY SH*T!!! On my right ovary, I have a 13, a 12 , and 9 less than 11....on my left, I have 11 less than 11. I feel like this is a lot. I am so nervous about OHSS.

I've been having some cramping, I feel like I am about to get my period, I have headaches, and when I go to the bathroom (pee), I feel like I have to push it out. Is this normal?

that is great you have so many!!! i had lots of cramping with my 8 follies so i can imagine the cramping you may have...and headaches GALORE!!!! they were awful ALL DAY LONG headaches...you are allowed to take tylenol though

I didn't have the pushing sensation but i would say anything weird you feel is normal..these meds are some crazy sh*t!

sounds like you are moving right along..when are they thinking you ER will be? you may be soon...fingers crossed for you!!!!

(oh and i dont know much about OHSS but do know many of my friends have had over 30 before and didn't have OHSS)

Holy moly that's fabulous! Better to have more then not enough! I hate that this process is so complicated that even when you get good news, there are side effects/syndromes to worry about. Was your doc concerned?

I definitely had the cramping, major headaches and I was peeing a lot but don't remember having to push too hard. I'm excited for you )

Thanks ladies. I am just so afraid of something going wrong. My RE is not concerned and is happy with my response, so I *know* everything is going as it should. I am a good responder, but you know what they say about too much of a good thing. I asked if she had an ER date in mind and she said if it isn't this weekend, it will be early next week.

That's great! Hopefully you're E2 levels come back in the range they expect and can put your mind at ease. Good luck!

It's all normal and weird. I remember eating like 2 bites of food and feeling STUFFED. Ugh. What is your E2? That is a better indicator of OHSS.

I'm not sure what my E2 levels are b/c I haven't gotten the call yet. My RE is not worried about OHSS at all, it is just me and my overactive mind. I've just read so many horror stories about it that I am petrified of it happening.

I've heard of a lot of girls around 20 eggs, don't worry too much!! Can't wait to hear your next update

OMG, that's awesome!!

Hang in there, I'm trying to believe that when REs aren't worried, we shouldn't be. At least that's what you all told me yesterday Stick out tongue

I can't wait to hear your next updates, it's so your turn, lovely lady.

Yay! Thay is awesome! I am so excited this cycle is going well for you. I had cramping and headaches too, and I only had 10 follies. I'm sure you're fine! Keep us posted on your E2. I'm still crossing my fingers for you. GL!
