That man deserves to be stabbed in a dark room. I know that you are really on top of your medical care, but I wanted to let you know that Eric and I were talking about painkillers the other day (spurned by the MJ drama) and he mentioned something about demerol being unsafe and possibly being removed from the market. I don't know why it is getting a bad rap, but when I saw it in your blog, I felt compelled to mention it. I'm sure he would be glad to let you know what he knows, if you are concerned. Please know that we think of you guys often, and that our thoughts are always accompanied by prayers and well wishes. ~Jessica AllisonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6052573822349510779.post-20554080582781853402009-07-13T11:50:13.148-05:002009-07-13T11:50:13.148-05:00Hi, I'm here from LFCA.
I know exactly what y...Hi, I'm here from LFCA.<br /><br />I know exactly what you are going through and I am so sorry you had to endure this. <br /><br />I too, last year, hyper stimulated. I was one of 2 patients in 20 that my RE had seen that had ever gotten that bad. <br /><br />I did not go to the hospital because in my small town, they would not have known what to do with me. My husband was the doctor and for over a month took care of me. (I traveled to my RE's, so he couldn't have done much either). In the week after retrieval I gained 47 pounds in fluid. I couldn't pee, I couldn't breath, my resting h/b was 12 bpm. I have never been that sick in my life. The vomiting and nausea are unlike anything I've ever been through.<br /><br />I had two draining sessions. The first time they drained off a liter and a half, the second time they drained another 3 liters. <br /><br />Over the next MONTH, I slowly got better. The two things that were life savers: Protein and acupuncture. The protein acts like little sponges that carry the excess fluid to your bladder so that you can pee it out. I was consuming 200 grams a day. No joke. Choke it down if you have to. It helps. Next, my acupuncturist had me running to the bathroom as soon as I got off the table. <br /><br />My retrieval was in July and I finally got to transfer in October. It is so hard and I cry just thinking about it and feel so bad for you, but believe me when I say that it is worth the wait to transfer. Let your body heal.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I miscarried in November. However, my second IVF was successful (I am pg) because the protocol was changed. I STILL ATE PROTEIN THE WHOLE TIME. Seriously. <br /><br />You can visit my IF blog if you would like and look at some back stories. <br /><br />www.nutchell.blogspot.com<br /><br />Good luck.

The silver lining on a very dark cloud is that you have 10 beautiful embryos waiting for you - 10! That's amazing! And you have time to heal emotionally and physically, and it sounds like you are doing a wonderful job of that already.

My last cycle...Oh my god, that sounds so horrible! My last cycle ended with what I thought was pretty painful OHSS, knocking me on my ass for a few days, but I had no idea it could be so bad. Wow.<br /><br />I think the hardest part might be having to postpone the cycle. Though I think your chances are much better if you put the embies in a body that's at peace, not so traumatized. At least they're safe on ice, and you have all the time you need to heal.<br /><br />And don't just write a complaint to the hospital--sue their asses. Because the "needle wasn't long enough" excuse is horseshit. <br /><br />Hang in there. Just take really good care of yourself. The memory of the pain will recede and your body will be okay again.

I have to say, I'm also surprised that your RE would even think for a second about doing your transfer with such a severe case of OHSS! Thank God they didn't or you would have been back in the hospital for sure! I hope someone is made accountable for the pain you felt during the drainage procedure. Wow. Hugs.A.
