Georgie,
Hi there. I read your story. Sorry about the ovarian Hyperstimulation. I had that just a bit when I first started using Follistim for an IUI. I took too much of a dosage at first. My ovaries, especially my right one really hurt for several days. I never got put on bed rest, I just stopped taking soo much and then it went away. You may want to post under the section IVF Buddies, that is where a lot of woman going thru IVF are posting. I am getting ready to start my first IVF in the begning of Feb. I have already been thru 6 IUI's didnt work. So I am getting a lot of advice from woman on here about it. It is really nice to talk to others who are going thru the same thing.
Well I wish you luck in all you do, I will check back now and then to see if you posted anything.

All:
This is my 1st time ever posting on an infertility website...well, any website for that matter. I'm a bit nervous sharing but here it goes. A little bit about me: I will be 41 in about a month and have TTC for about 5 1/2 years. Did IUI about 3 years ago and determined it was a male facto (motility factor) at that time. My hubby had surgery (took him about 9 mths to get the courage) and then 6 mths later was tested again. His results went up ( but still not where they would like it.
At that point, I went into a deep depression and due to health issues, we went on hiatus for a while. We started IVF in October, all went well up to transfer. We transferred 4 embryos on day 3 but no pregnancy. We are now on our 2nd round of IVF. Just had my transfer on Thursday. Had 15 eggs, 12 matured, and 9 fertilized. They decided to go for day 5 this time and transferred 4 embryos again. Since the day of my retrieval, I have been in severe pain but kept chalking it off due to the # of eggs retrieved as I am a small framed woman and being older...they told me I would have a more difficult recovery.
Long story, long, at my transfer, I shared the pain I had been experiencing and they said that my ovaries were still a bit enlarged. Went home and the pain got even more excruciating. Ends up, I have Ovarian Hyperstimulation. Have been curled up in a ball ever since. Okay, now that I've told you my "life story", have any of you ever experienced it and if so, how long did you stay on bedrest? What did you do besides rest to help ease the pain?
