I got a bad case of, "I want to knows!"
I had a follow-up visit with Dr B yesterday for the OHSS concerns. Wednesday morning I took a slight but noticeable turn for the better, but on Monday she said unless I feel a "million, thousand percent better," keep the appointment, so we did. I am able to take deep breaths and yawn without the sharp pain I had been having, which made me think the swelling in my ovaries was decreasing. The U/S showed that, yes, the swelling is slowly starting to decrease, but the free fluid has slightly increased. I wanted to know, when I am going to feel normal again and the answer is, "In a week you should feel 50% better than you do now, and in a month you should be back to normal." Wow, that's a long haul, maybe I didn't want to know...
On to my next question, Dr B. We have these 15 excellent embryos; when we're ready for a FET how many do we have to thaw at a time to make sure we get 2 to transfer? She explained that they are all graded and frozen individually so in preparation for a transfer they will thaw the two best of the best. If one of them doesn't look good, they'll thaw the 3rd best, and so on until they have 2 that thawed well. I like this answer, because having 15 embryos to work with means I will never have to go through another retrieval!
