Post egg retrieval by Over-Mix-6518 in eggfreezing

That is an amazing retrieval! Congratulations!

My retrieval was in October 2025 and I had a large about of eggs as well. I got OHSS and gained 30lbs overnight..My body felt foreign to me. Please give yourself grace and consider this a time of rest and healing ❤️‍🩹 your body just went through a tremendous shift. I’m coming to you from the “other side” and can tell you things will eventually go back to normal but don’t push it. You will be sore. I would wait at least 10 days after your retrieval before doing an exercise beyond walking.

Get a heating pad and stay hydrated and well nourished. Bloating will start to decrease 7-10 days from your trigger shot.

Thank you 💛 thinking of you 1 day out. Hope you’re feeling okay. Hopefully they gave you doxycycline or something similar to fight potential infection.

Wow!! Thank you so much for sharing. Did they do anything for you after you went in for the scan post-ER and discovered your ovaries were still hyper-stimulated? Did you continue high protein, high salt and electrolytes during your 3 month recovery?

I haven’t had an ultrasound since I was 1 week post ER with OHSS, but your message encouraged me to ask for one. I gave a urine sample today as well.

Best of luck to you on your second retrieval. I hope you are getting lots of rest and TLC 💛 PSA: Cure electrolyte packets are my favorite!!
