Oh no, lilo - I am not to test yet, it is day 7 post transfer, and day 10 after collection. The test is supposed to be next Friday.

I am on my way home from holiday. I am now in Amsterdam airport, in hotel, and flying back to the UK in the morning (hotel+flight with a break in Amsterdam was cheaper that just the flight!)

Anyway, I am not feeling too well the last few days, and I am a bit worried it might not be doing me well. It could be that I have eaten something not very fresh, and I had stomach pains since yesterday, so bad, that I couldn't sleep well, and have been bloated for most of the week. And I have never had to get up at night to go to the loo so many times! But no, nothing is going to stop those babies implanting. Enough just 'planing' to have a baby - it is time to have one (or two)!!!!!

Sorry Gin ahead of myself! Take care of yourself, and glad you enjoy your holiday. Try and rest and take it easy if you are not feeling up to par XXXXX

Gin, sounds a like OHSS to me, with the bloating and pains etc, classic symptoms, and the continual peeing!
Can you call your clinic for advice (when home perhaps) as it can get worse when your body starts producing HCG and can need monitoring.

Thanks, Lisa. If it doesn't improve, I think I will call the clinic tomorrow. Just to be safe. But honestly, my belly is huge!!!!! Ok, I can make my trousers up, but only because they are high waist ones!

Anyway, I am home now. Resting on the sofa.

We got a letter saying that no embryos where good enough to freeze, so there it goes. All I have is what is inside me. And, of course - they are going to stick (well, at least one must!)

I am feeling absolute rubbish. I can barely sit here at work. I am feeling week, and in pain. I was covered in cold sweat this morning trying to drink cup of tea and eat a slice of malt loaf!

Anyway, I called the hospital and they want me to come in for a scan. I feel a bit breathless and so weak in my arms, I cannot face lifting up from my desk. I probably just need a bit more sleep, as I couldn't sleep well tonight again with the pains, and every time I tried to turn, they used to get worse for a while. Why can't it all be easy?...

Gin, I'd only eat little and often of protein only for the time being, and drink sports drinks in case it is OHSS. Don't eat carbs or veggies as there aren't enough room for your stomach in there (((hugs))).

So, I do have OHSS, borderline between mild and moderate. There is quite a bit of fluid in my belly, and they took loads of bloods, blood pressure, pulse, temperature, oxygen saturation. I was ok to go home, but advised to take it easy and not work for a week or so.

Now I just need to break it to my boss, as I have just came back to work today after nearly 2 weeks off!
