2 days after Egg Retrieval

Today it has been 2 days since my eggs were retrieved and I am feeling sooooooo bloated I can't even eat. RE's office called me in the morning to give me time of ET: Monday, June 25 at 9:00 am. I should be there by 8:45. I told Angie I need an acupuncture session before and she said to call LAc and see if she can come in to office to do one. I never knew they did that. Also told her to have Jodiann call me back regarding OHSS symptoms.

I called LAc and she said she would see me at 7:30 am in her office. How wonderful of her is that. So I called Angie and let her know everything would be okay.

A little later Jodiann called me and I was telling her how I had been feeling and if there was anything that I could do or take to feel better. She said not really, but if I wanted I could go in and have RE check me to make sure I'm not hyperstimulating. She said it was up to me, but since it was Friday it would be best if I went so I did.

RE checked me on sonogram and found lots of fluid in my ovaries. He said he strongly recommends that I cancel this cycle. Otherwise, if I get pregnant it will only trigger OHSS even more. He said he'd like to let my ovaries rest about a month (leaving me out of July transfer and not cycling in August) and then FET in September. He said lots of bed rest. Better As much as I hate waiting so long, I'd rather be safe than sorry, so we will wait until September. I know this is happening for a reason and God knows exactly what he is doing so I am not questioning it and just accepting it.

LAc called me later and I told her the situation. She said that it's good we're waiting because the risks of OHSS are very high. Plus, like I told her, the hard part is already done, so I will continue seeing her every 2 weeks as before beginning next Thursday.

This will just allow me to not be too cautious on my vacation.
