Bloating and blah post ER

I went back to work the day after ER.  My RE was surprised and I guess had wanted me to stay home, but hadn't been clear in her instructions.  Anyway, that day was OK - a little bloaty, but not too bad.  I kept on the extra strength Tylenol every 4-6 hrs.  In the days since, I've become increasingly uncomfortable (not pain, just discomfort) and am more bloated.  The nurse said OHSS sx can increase after ER and intensify if I do get pregnant.  

I'm drinking lots of Gatorade, eating protein with each meal, but looking for any other tips and tricks for getting a little more comfortable.  

ET is tentative scheduled for Fri, pending PGD results.  If I knew somethin' was a cookin' in there, I don't think I'd mind the discomfort nearly as much!

TIA and happy T'giving!

The 2nd day after ER was actually worse than the day of and day after ER. Gatorade is great--keep drinking!  A heating pad on my tummy felt like heaven. Hope you feel better soon.

I second the heating pad on your tummy!

For me day of was just sleeping, day two was seriously crampy and bending wasn't something I was willing to do and day three I woke up feeling normal.

I hope you're feeling better today!!

Yeah, I'm def not feeling better as I thought I would.  Last nite was the worst, but I'm just generally uncomfortable and all-over sore.  Apparently OHSS sx can peak around 7-10 days post ER....  

GL with your ET!!

Have you talked to your doc about it? I've heard sometimes they can go in and drain fluid around your ovaries and really relieve the pressure, not sure how bad it has to get or what the implications are in doing so though. But I hate you're still feeling bad! FX for tomorrow to be much better!
