Pain back days after egg retrieval

my ER was Tuesday and I had pain that day and mild discomfort on Wednesday in the uterus / ovary areas. Thursday was pain free but tonight the achy cramps pain is back with a vengeance. I just took a Percocet so hopefully that helps. Should I be concerned about this? Is this a sign of OHSS or just maybe I did too much today?

    Hi, hope you're feeling better.  It's worth mentioning to your dr.  If it's OHSS you will have lots of bloating and fluid retention.  Make sure you are drinking fluids and urinating a lot to rid the fluids.  I had mild OHSS and that was important.  Eating egg whites also helps, but I'm not sure if that's what you have.

    Thanks. I was diagnosed with moderate OHSS. Luckily we froze everything so no more hormones so I'm getting better. I had to give up eating for a few days since I had like no room and every time I ate I felt nauseous and terrible. I'm back to eating today but small plates. I feel like I've drunk 20,000 calories in Gaterade lol

    @Ash_SE - the night I started to feel better was the worst for me (around days 5-7 after ER). It was awful, and then it started to get better really quickly afterwards. I also ended up with OHSS and freeze-all cycle.
    My RE prescribed me percocet after the most intense night of pain, but I never ended up taking it, as the pain didn't come back :)
    Drink lots of fluids, and eat some salty snacks.
