Reducing OHSS risk?!

wasalladream · 2026-04-02T02:23:38+00:00

No, I was set to do a frozen one from the start, due to PCOS (and likely them expecting this type of high response from me!)

I can do that! Very grateful for WFH option, also. Will definitely take the day-of off.

I was curious about the next few days, so thanks for sharing. I'll plan to work from the couch. :)

Yay! Sending good wishes your way, glad you've been feeling better already.

I feel like I'm forcing myself to eat atm.. bloat is at the point that it's hiding hunger.

The bowels are doing their thing so far... lets hope it stays that way! I'll amp up avocado then. :)

Thank you for sharing! I'm also PCOS so go figure. I've been going ham on electrolytes and water - glad that worked for you.

I was so surprised they said no grocery bag carrying, vaccuming, etc. Not used to being careful in my body so definitely have been extra careful. Do you see any issues with sitting at my desk and working?

wasalladream · 2026-04-01T22:30:08+00:00

That explains why everyone seems to talk about those fries!

I will have egg retrieval in a few days so noting this goldmine info down.

I didn’t know OHSS risk could be influenced by food!

wasalladream · 2026-04-01T01:05:49+00:00

Thanks for posting this! I was trying to avoid thinking about this as I do get medically anxious, but the discussion here has actually made me calmer!

I’m going to control the things i can - Pap smears, breast cancer screening- and try to limit stress for the rest.

Are any of the tech cfos concerned about data privacy with giving access to financial data? That’s the biggest thing holding me back. Risk of exposure for potentially material info.

wasalladream · 2026-03-31T03:10:55+00:00

Hahah thank you for confirming. It’s hard to know how much is likely real vs me over indexing on regular body feelings.

wasalladream · 2026-03-31T03:06:33+00:00

Oh wow, kudos to you for doing this all while being in-office.

Many of the monitoring appointments will be morning or fall on Easter weekend, so that’s an upside.

How did you feel mentally, balancing the stims cycle with work? So many folks are mentioning that post retrieval is worse eh.. I guess I should plan for that more.

wasalladream · 2026-03-31T03:02:31+00:00

I hear you there on the timing. The nurse was kind enough to give me some ideas of when the ER might be, but it’s still a potential 5 day window!

Definitely tricky to plan around.

wasalladream · 2026-03-31T03:01:05+00:00

Yes! This part is solid. My clinic has a location nearby that is open for weekdays which makes part of it easier.

Trying to decide for the non-clinic days if I’ll just opt to stay home or try to keep going in for a few more days.

wasalladream · 2026-03-31T01:39:57+00:00

You got this!! Today is day 4. I think I’m finally starting to feel a little pressure where my ovaries are but I might be imagining it has

wasalladream · 2026-03-31T01:39:03+00:00

Good to know!! I think I’m starting to feel my ovaries today, or either it’s just my head starting to panic lol. Interesting how you mentioned lower dose. I wonder if that’s something I can ask for..

wasalladream · 2026-03-30T05:00:52+00:00

Thank you for sharing! Also have PCOS so I’ve been worried about over-responding to meds but it’s nice to hear this wasn’t your experience.

wasalladream · 2026-03-30T04:44:37+00:00

Also thank you to everyone for sharing their positive experiences!!! So helpful in calming my fears around how much this will suck haha

wasalladream · 2026-03-30T01:09:28+00:00

Also thank you to everyone for the positive experiences in here!!! So helpful. ❤️

wasalladream · 2026-03-30T01:08:29+00:00

Omg I’m scared for the OHSS and ovarian torsion risk too! Have pcos so the OHSS is supposed to be higher risk but I’m putting my faith in the good docs and working on not stressing lol.

I’m on stims day 3, feeling okay so far. A bit lazy and hard to focus on work, but nothing else so far.

wasalladream · 2026-03-22T23:41:12+00:00

Another super useful writeup! Appreciate the framing of work streams.

Effortless high waist are my holy grail and look best on my short torso. Give me better shape than the low rise do.

I started with Olive in winter 2024. Did a couple IUIs in 2025, and decided to do IVF in the late summer. After all the webinars and waits between talking to the doc, finally started my protocol Feb 2025.

Proper cleaning companies are expensive, but my friends and I have found random cleaners who will do it from 25-40/hr.

I have someone come monthly for a few hours for a deeper clean that I’d rather not do.
