13 DPT (OHSS)

My tummy has been feeling very bloated since 3 days ago. It's getting bigger and feeling very uncomfortable. It looks at if I'm 3 months pregnant. Even hubby also notice that. I read online that it could be due to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). I always thought this would only happen during follicle stimulation but it does happens after ET as well. Especially if pregnant, symptoms may persist even longer. Was getting a bit worried and so decided to call KKHIVF to check and I was asked to go KKH O&G 24HRS clinic to check if I'm feeling very uncomfortable.

I was there and shortly attended by the nurse. I was asked to pass some urine incase the doctor needs to test my urine. At that moment, I don't feel any urine and so I drank two cups of water and passed out less than 20ml of urine in a bottle for doctor.

I was called in to see doctor not long after. Doctor asked a few questions such as "Am I married, what occupation, any child currently" etc...Am thinking is this related to my check. While she asked I did notice my urine sample and a test kit which looks like pregnancy test kit showing two lines. She could have tested me positive for pregnancy. After the interview, she announced that I am tested positive and I'm pregnant. Didn't had much surprises as I already know. After that she talks about my symptoms I am having currently. She says what I am having is OHSS and is normal during pregnancy due to stimulation of the ovarian. If I can still lie down on bed without pain and eat normally, there is no cause of concern. She even check my tummy and also my vagina to see if there is any discharge. She says everything is ok. There is nothing to be done to prevent this and this is part of the pregnancy symptoms. After listening to her, I feel I might have wasted my trip there. The consultation fees ends up to a $115.03 for nothing. The only news she confirmed is I'm pregnant....

Well ...trying hard to console myself at least there is nothing major to me.

Read online that some doctor recommend to drink electrolyte drink to drain of the excessive fluid and so I'm trying hopefully it helps.
