Hey all, I wanted to share my experience with severe OHSS before starting chemo. It’s been a tough journey, and I’m looking for advice and support from those who have been through something similar.
I never expected to face such a challenging situation so early in my treatment journey. The physical and emotional toll of OHSS has been overwhelming, and it’s hard to find people who truly understand what I’m going through.
If anyone has tips on managing the symptoms or just wants to offer some words of encouragement, I would greatly appreciate it. Let’s support each other through these tough times.
I may not have much to add, but I wanted to express my sympathies for what you’re going through. You come across as incredibly resilient. It’s likely that you’re not the only patient dealing with OHSS, so I hope it doesn’t cause any delays. Wishing you all the best.
I am really sorry that you are experiencing all of this. Sending you a big hug.
I apologize. Have they prescribed any medication like letrozole for your OHSS treatment? Usually, I felt better within a week after taking it, but your severe symptoms may require more time.
I apologize for the unpleasant experience. I am currently undergoing treatment for OHSS in the hospital. I had 48 eggs retrieved due to PCOS at 31 years old. After experiencing severe pain in my pelvis, abdomen, and back, I sought immediate care at the fertility clinic where they discovered a large pocket of fluid in my abdomen. They performed surgery to drain over 2 liters of fluid and found some fluid in my lungs as well. I am now in remission and understand the difficulties of this situation. You are not alone, feel free to message me for support.
I apologize for the way women are being treated by the system, it’s truly unfair and unjust. Wishing you the best in all your treatments.
I am deeply sorry for the struggles you are facing. My close friend also battled breast cancer at a young age, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Please take care of yourself.
