[quote=Anonymous]I’ve never heard of anybody being put on a regimen at the start of a cycle. Rather it’s typically decided if OHSS will be a risk a few days before retrieval if you have an abnormally large volume of follicles. At that point your doctor may start you on low-dose aspirin and the salt and protein diet. You’d continue on it if you had a large volume of eggs retrieved.

That was what I have in my case; I did not have any risk factors going into it but I wound up stimming high and started the diet two days before retrieval and followed a few days later (had 25 eggs). I also had to do a freeze cycle rather than the first transfer I had planned due to heightened risks. OHSS did not develop in my case.

As for what to consume think triple your protein intake and salty foods. I drank lot of electrolytes and bone broth, and ate protein at each meal plus two protein drinks a day (Special K has a line that weren’t terrible calorie wise) and a low carb protein bar one a day. Eggs and chicken breast for breakfast, salty pho or chicken soups with extra chicken for lunch or dinner. I did it for maybe 5-7 days between last follicle check and three days post-retrieval when it looked like I was in the clear. [/quote]
