    OHSS or Progesterone?

    Iam 11 days past trigger, 9dpo and have had 6 doses so far of 200mg of progesterone. For about 5-6 days now my stomach has been so bloated that I look 4 months preggers. I feel full up by my ribs after I eat and sit down. By the end of the night my feet are throbbing and feel swollen. I have gained about 6 lbs. The bloating is worse after eating and at the end of the day. This is my second month on the trigger shot and 3rd on the progesterone. The only switch I made this month was going from 50mg clomid to 2.5mg femara. I only had 1 mature follicle with 2 smaller ones at trigger. What the heck is going on? Is this possibly a mild case of ohss?

    It's not OHSS. You get OHSS when lots of follicles leak fluid into your abdomen after ER. It doesn't cause your feet to swell. It specifically affects your abdomen and breathing.

    Well that is good. Any ideas about could be going on?

    **update: weight came off, bloating has vanished now at 11dpo. I am not sure if I should mention this to my dr. Before I start my next round of meds or not.
