Question for girls with ohss even mild cases

Did anyone develop a slight cough and a little pressure in the chest from this? I have a mild case. I am not in pain just extremely bloated and wondering if this cough is related.

Re: Question for girls with ohss even mild cases

Yes, totally but only for 2 days. It was hard for me to do, but I slept basically sitting up on the couch almost as if I were in a recliner with my feet on the ottoman. That, plus the gatorade helped sooooooo much.

My lower belly stayed bloated though so I wear spanx so people don't think I'm PG already... I've been wearing leggings and stretchy pants to work..... what a pain in the ass it is to get dressed

Re: Question for girls with ohss even mild cases

yes the chest tightness was really horrible and its what you have to look out for. that is what makes OHSS so dangerous, you can literally get so full of fluid that it pushes up and cuts off some oxygen to your lungs. but thats usually in severe cases and they would drain the fluid to relieve the pressure.

i def had that feeling mildly too but i dont remember it lasting more than a few days. but it was VERY hard to walk for my commute to work (walked 12 blocks and an ave and half every day to get to work from Penn). i believe i took a day or two off cause i literally couldn't walk and breathe at the same time it was so uncomfortable!!

So I guess it's related to the ohss then. Wasn't sure if I was just coming down with a cough. I managed to come down with a stomach virus Saturday and Sunday so I figured one more thing!! I notice it's worse at night. I guess after a day of eating and drinking. Honestly not that bad though so I'm going to just watch it. Uggh I'm so nervous for my first sono next week!
