Im moving on to a 2nd found of IVF after 3 failed FET with 5 embryos. I had been over stimulated in my first round and resulted in moderate OHSS. For those of you that had OHSS first time around did It happen again. Is there away this can be prevented?

Sorry you had OHSS. I didnt have it but was at high risk for it.My RE was really concerned I would.
Not sure if this will help or not but this is what I was told/did.
They gave me some med to help reduce the chances of OHSS, which I took for a week after procedure. Of course can not remember the name of at the moment but I can look it up for you.
Food wise I am sure you were told similiar but this is what I did.
Prior 2 litres of Gatorade a day starting 3 days.
Afterwards Lots of salty food and 2-3 litres of Gatorade a day. It was a great excuse to indulgenin potato chips and ramen noodles. If concerned with sugar from gatorade there are other brands that do the same thing with less sugar or natural sugars. I stuck mostly with gatorade as I prefer it when doing sports
