I have PCOS, which I was told increased my risk.[/quote]Thank you. I followed this rule, but somehow still have OHSS. I guess I need to throw a pity party. Haha. I spent all last night throwing up, clammy, and with intense cramping. I'm going in today for an ultrasound or in case there's anything else I can do. We took every precaution (metformin, cabergoline, Hetastarch, diet) except for changing the trigger. I kept asking is it really a good idea to trigger with HCG, but my RE insisted. Given how I'm feeling, I really wish I would have used Lupron

I'm sorry.  Hopefully it passes quickly.
Are you doing a fresh transfer?  You can't do that with a Lupron trigger.[/quote]Thank you for understanding. No, unfortunately due to the OHSS it's not safe to do a fresh transfer. I'm taking progesterone to induce my period and hopefully shrink everything back down.[/quote]

Yeah, if you were initially planning a fresh transfer, then that is why your RE was so insistent on an HCG trigger.  [/quote]
