chest pain

Hey everyone. I had a successful egg retrival 4 weeks ago. I developed slight OHSS. My stomach was swollen for maybe 3 days. My RE said my ovaries were 4 times the normal size. I also saw that my estrogen was almost 5,000 by the time of my retrial. (The Dr never mentioned this to me, I just happen to see the reports.) I was doing pretty well until about a week ago when I started having discomfort in my chest. It feels like pressure, not pain. I also have a cold on top of everything. I went to first med a few days ago and they  said I'm fine. I'm just starting to freak out a little from reading online. I hope it's not a blood clot or fluid of some sort. I am calling to make a cardiologist appointment today just in case. Has this happened to anyone? I'm probably making something out of nothing.

    Are you feeling any better? I had mild OHSS a few weeks ago, we caught it before fresh transfer and cut off all meds. I only had vomiting, but my RE was a little nervous as my estrogen was 2650 two days before retrieval, and 3000 is usually the cut off point for fresh vs frozen at my clinic. I heard that chest pain can be caused by fluid buildup, and that’s from severe OHSS. I really doubt it was unrelated, so hopefully you got some help or it got better with time.

    Feeling slightly better. I ended up going to the ER since my Dr was closed until Monday. They did an EKG and blood tests to check for blood clots and all came back fine. I think I may just have a combination of a cold and a pulled muscle in my shoulder or neck thats radiating out to my chest? @LauraJon2015 Are you doing your transfer next cycle then?

    Glad you are feeling better! I’m already on the start of my next cycle, with FET estimated to be Christmas Eve. Fingers crossed!
