My first IVF cycle, have been administering 10 units of Lucrin since 6 Sep, 150units of Gonal since 29 Sep. Scan 2 days ago showed 15 follicles (6 - 11mm), todays scan showed 26 (7 - 15mm). Dr thinks I should be ready for ET next Wed. I found brown discharge today. Im also having sore back, sore knee and ankle for 3 nights.  Is this normal?  Is this OHSS?  During the consultation this morning, I was told i have higher risk of OHSS. What will happen if I have OHSS? Do i have to abort this cycle???
Hi Chat Doctor user, your risk of HSS can be prevented with proper stimulation and dose of medications. nowadays antagonist protocol with GRH agonist trigger is a safer way to prevent HSS. Since you are already on agonist protocol you can try for embryo transfer but there is high risk for hyperstimulation. If there is hyperstimulation you will feel bloated, pain in abdomen heaviness, in sever cases their would breathe difficulties. If you conceive after transfer sometimes there are increased chances of hyperstimulation. Risk of abortion is low if managed properly.
