Hi Maggie, I know just how you feel. I had 38 eggs extracted, 23 embryos frozen and no transfer because my estrogen level was sooo high. I also had a severe case of hyperstimulation and was bedbound for 9 days without any relief from the excruciating pain. I gained about 15lbs of waterweight, could not eat, had to use a bedpan for 3 or 4 days because I could not walk, trouble breathing for a couple of days. I tried to drink a lot of water but it was hard because I felt like I blew up more. I had no relief from the pain. My doctor said as long as I was drinking liquids and urinating I could remain home because I would be more comfortable. My advise to you is to do whatever feels right. You will be ok!! I wish I could have talked with someone who went through this when it was happening to me. Please e-mail me if you need to talk. Well wishes Sharon

I am currently pregnant and hyperstimulated. This is a very dangerous situation. I am also at home on bedrest, but I am being closely monitored. I have gained about 12 pounds in water weight and have difficulty breathing especially afterI eat or drink. Hopefully you have seen your RE about your situation. I was told that hospitalization was not necessary as long as I was passing urine and able to breath. My E2 is now at 7000 which is amazing as it was only 3000 during the stimulation phase of this past IVF cycle ! Feel free to e-mail me if I can help. You are not alone ! Lisa

Drinks lots & lots of Gatorade, and if the pain gets that unbearable, see your RE ASAP. Lots of luck! :-)
