I went back to work the day after ER. My RE was surprised and I guess had wanted me to stay home, but hadn't been clear in her instructions. Anyway, that day was OK - a little bloaty, but not too bad. I kept on the extra strength Tylenol every 4-6 hrs. In the days since, I've become increasingly uncomfortable (not pain, just discomfort) and am more bloated. The nurse said OHSS sx can increase after ER and intensify if I do get pregnant.
I'm drinking lots of Gatorade, eating protein with each meal, but looking for any other tips and tricks for getting a little more comfortable.
ET is tentative scheduled for Fri, pending PGD results. If I knew somethin' was a cookin' in there, I don't think I'd mind the discomfort nearly as much!
TIA and happy T'giving!
