OHSS is no joke

in Success after IF

And by my own self diagnosis I'd say I have a very mild case, but this sucks.  I am so bloated and just blah.  If I stand up or walk around for too long it kills my lower abdomen and forget it if the boys jump on me or something.

Is there anything besides lots of fluids / gatorade that I can do?

    salt. McD's fries. yum!

    I have a moderate case on my 2nd IVF, but for my 3rd retrival I drank a lot of "Special K protein water" (packets found near the Boost! supplement drinks in our store) and even though I had more retrived and a much higher E2, I showed no signs of OHSS. (unrelated? maybe. but the protein water can't hurt, and it was good)

    Keep an eye on your weight, it can go from "meh" to OMG!" really quick! GL !

    Protein and salt! Protein bars, protein water (good suggestion Davez!), gatorade, salty snacks. Good luck - I hope it improves quickly!
