Advice needed!!

Hi ladies! I have not been on the bump in awhile and have never posted on this board but I find myself in need of some advice. Last week I had my ER and then on Sunday had my 3 day transfer. During my transfer they noted that my ovaries are still enlarged which I know is to be expected. My question is for those of you who have been through an ER if there were any "tricks" to assisting your ovaries back into normal size. Also just wondering how long after your ER until you felt "normal" again (by this I mean when will I no longer feel like I have 2 giant oranges attached to my uterus)!!! Any help you have would be great! If it matter I had 22 eggs retrieved last Thursday and my transfer on Sunday...TIA!!

    the most I've ever had retrieved was 14, and I felt bloated for about a week and a half. Make sure you're getting your electrolytes (drink Gatorade), and I felt better on a more liquid diet... soup :) Lots of leggings and loose tops helped too. Good luck with your 2ww!

    I drank Powerade Zero, tried to eat as healthfully as possible and just generally took it easy for a couple of days post transfer.  I hope you are feeling good soon-hopefully your bloat will turn into a baby bump :)

    *****Signature warning*******

     

    My nurse said that Gatorade (or similar sport drink) and protein were most important.  So, I drank at least a quart of Gatorade and three protein drinks (high protein ensure) each day.  We had also picked up some beef jerky for me to munch on as I felt up to eating.  Each day, it got a little better and less painful. 

    Married 10/06

    Baby Girl "C" arrived on 10/07/14 (39 weeks, 6 days)
