Well ladies, sorry its been so long. So much has been going on. I was in the hospital for a few days again last week due to severe right lower quadrant pain. My right ovary is still 9+ cm. I was feeling great last Wednesday and had my last ultrasound at my RE's office at 7am at 3:15pm I started having severe RLQ pain like I did a month ago. I took some Tylenol and tried to get comfortable then I called my OB office at 4:15pm because nothing was getting better and my OB prescribed Vicodin and told me to go into the ER if that didn't help. So my DH ran to the pharmacy on his way home and then got home at 5:15pm. In the mean time I was shaking, vomiting and nauseous. I took a Vicodin and thought it helped in the first 20 min. however after that the pain just kept getting worse and worse. We ended up in the ER at 7pm had and ultrasound and MRI. They admitted me and the pain did not subside until in the afternoon on Thursday. I still have a dull pain but nothing compared to when I had to go in. My right ovary will hopefully go down in size in the next three weeks, and hopefully we won't have to deal with this anymore. On a better note, the babies are doing great. Heartbeats are strong, both are growing good. I was so worried about taking the pain meds but the doctors assured me that they do not affect the babies unless its used for long term during the pregnancy in which the babies become addicted.
Oh man, hospital again :-/ did they say if something you were doing caused the pain to come back? Like too much out and about? And is there ANYTHING that could help make ur ovaries shrink? Does not sound fun lol but will be worth it in the end!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got to enjoy your nephews birth and bond with your family, thats great! Almost out of the first t right? :-)
They didn't say anything was causing it because each time it happened I was "taking it easy" -seriously sitting on the couch! So they have instructed me not to do anything strenuous for the next few weeks, which I haven't since I was diagnosed with OHSS before our retrieveal in March! But they want me to do every day stuff for the most part. My ovary SHOULD shrink in the next couple weeks because its job of secreting progesterone is pretty much done this week. But its a sit and wait thing :/ Yes it will be all worth it. It's just strange cuz I'm a healthy person and I've never been hospitalized before. But I will do whatever needs to be done to protect these two little bundles of love.
