After egg retrieval, the symptoms worsened. I was bloating with a rock hard tummy as if I was 6 months pregnant. The cramps and abdominal pain kicked in with every step I taken. I also had problem in peeing. I was given dostinex to help with the bloating. That helped me get some rest at night.
My tcm doc confirmed that pulse has weakened. She decided to do acupuncture to help reduce the bloating.
Blood test showed that I had mild ohss but it was ok to proceed with egg transfer. After egg transfer, all symptoms intensified!
- My tummy felt as it was trying to burst from within. I can no longer lie on my back or side or slouch. Needless to say, I hardly slept last night.
- My nausea worsened and the urge of wanting to vomit is very strong. Uncontrollably, I keep gagging and that makes it worse.
- Occasional gastric remains since I have totally no appetite. Anything I put in my mouth worsens the bloating and nausea.
- With each step, my bloated tummy hurts together with the cramps. I was told that walking will help reduce bloating but it is between the devil and the deep blue sea.
- Achy and crispy bones add to my misery.
- Breaking to frequent cold sweat possibly arising from the fear of the discomfort.
I don't think it is pain. But it is a huge discomfort, utterly miserable and makes you very drained.
My spirit seemed broken, my will is weak and my faith is challenged. I have been praying very hard and frequently for strength, comfort, faith and hope that all these symptoms will vanish and I can enjoy time with my beanies.
Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteThanks thanks! I think the worst is over already (or least I hope). Today seems to be a better day, with less bloating and pain =)
