Hi Ladies
I just want to know what everyone's symptoms were after ER. I recently had my ER 4 days ago. I am in no pain nor do I think I have OHSS. However, it is difficult to take a deep breath as I feel my ovaries filled with fluids. Is this normal? To have fluid build up to the point of having some breathing difficulties? I have not gain excessive weight, no vomiting and on occasion have had slight nausea but goes away once I eat.
Just wondering.
