Is this normal after egg retrieval?

[Anonymous]

I’m 29. Amh 1.96, only one tube and ovary. I lost my other side to a 10cm cyst x
So I did my first egg retrieval a month ago. 11 retrieved 7 mature. This time I had my retrieval on Monday. 17 retrieved and 9 mature.

Felt awful afterwards. Was so much pain in my shoulders and abdomen. It’s gone down a lot but I still feel it. Mg doctor says I’m not at risk for OHSS. Had Lupron trigger and estrogen was 2900.

Anyone else ?
I’m mostly having pain in my stomach area. Wondering if this is normal or not. No not my uterus. Mg stomach.

Go see your doctor

I only had 1 egg retrieval, but I also had almost 20 eggs and was dangerously close to OHSS. I felt tender and sore all over like I had been in a car accident for 4-5 days.

Yes. If the RE/nurse isn't taking it seriously, go to your PCP or even the ER.

I basically felt fine after mine. Mild soreness in the abdomen but really pretty minimal. Agree with a PP that it's a lot of hormones/meds, anaesthesia - you should get it checked out.

I mean I feel mostly fine minus the gassiness in my stomach plus a little bit of pain in my stomach when I walk. I’m hoping by tomorrow I feel better. Nurse said I should be feeling a little better each day and then by my period the period will help with the symptoms .

Yeah I felt like I was hit in the stomach with a baseball bat and I had high estrogen. Don't remember the #. Went in to get checked out and was told it was fine. That RE went on to screw me over (long story) and I do not trust his medical opinion, but the ultrasound tech said I did not have alot of fluid.

Anyways, OP:
Unexplained shoulder pain that does not change when you move your neck, shoulder, or arm or that occurs with symptoms elsewhere in your body (such as in your abdomen or chest) may be referred shoulder pain. Referred pain means that a problem exists somewhere else in the body other than where you feel the pain.

Causes of referred shoulder pain may include:

Pelvic problems, such as a ruptured ovarian cyst.

ER is a better choice, PCP will not know what to do with you.

I’m OP. When I was 23 I lost my other ovary and tube due to a 10cm cyst and it was torsion. My fallopian tube twisted around my ovary and it was the worst pain of my whole life. Had laparoscopy to remove it. So now I only have one ovary and tube, that’s why I am doing egg freezing. I’ve been getting better on the daily. My first ER was not like this though. I hope I feel better tomorrow.
Prayers for me. Please.

Curious what was different between this and the last ER.

Best wishes and hopefully your eggs remain an insurance policy that you never need to use!

My estrogen level was 4199 and I had 38 eggs retrieved. If I remember correctly, my RE put me on Letrozole and Cabergoline after my egg retrieval to prevent OHSS, but I still felt absolutely dreadful for some time.

OHSS risk correlates to estrogen levels and not follicles.
