BLOATING after retrieval- Please help!

Ok update- bleeding is not an issue. Dr. is not sure what caused it but it seems to be gone- lining is good and so are the hormone levels.

Dr. wants me to have a sono before transfer on monday- they are concerned about the swelling of my right ovary. The sono tech/ dr I saw today said it was 2x bigger than my left ovary but felt it was normal since there were more follicles on that side. Not sure what changed

How can I get rid of some of the fluid in my abdomen? I heard high protein, low salt, low carb but is there anything else? I'll do anything to get the transfer Monday!

Re: Bleeding after retrieval

No experience. I didn't have bleeding after retrieval. Did they dilate you? Or mention anything about doing a trial transfer at the time if retrieval ? If so, maybe it's just coming from your cervix.

I hope it stops soon and the dr can put your mind at ease tmrw.

Bleeding after retrieval

I spotted after retrieval but nothing major. I hope everything works out and you get some answers tomorrow at your appointment.

I would call the doctor- I bled right away after retrieval, but they told me if it didn't completely stop to call them.

Re: Bleeding after retrieval

Looks like it is my lining. The lining is still above an 8 but they took blood to check hormone levels. It could be related to the progesterone. My right ovary is swollen and there is fluid in my abdominal which is causing the bloating but not much to cause alarm. They think I'll be ok for transfer monday.

I was uncomfortably bloated after all 3 of my ERs for at least 3 days . I just tried to stay hydrated and I ate small meals.

If I remember correctly, you had high E2 levels? You *may* have a mild case of OHSS
