I'm so mad.. .everything's been going well til today. Estradiol level way too high (5500) and can't do anything until it comes down. And this is the day AFTER lowering the does from 300 units to 75! Now they told me to totally stop taking the Gonal F. I'm flippin' out cause I can already see this cycle canceled. I sure hope not but I was ready for these follicles to come out Thursday! They're really bothering me and they're not getting any smaller.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
My E2 numbers were also pretty high (2600) before my ER. I was really feeling the early onset of OHSS.
Be really careful to drink lots and lots of water! My RE recommended Gatorade, too, which seemed to help. Don't let yourself get too dehydrated b/c this will make the OHSS worse.
Hang in there!
