    I JUST STARTED HCG ON SATURDAY, TODAY BEING MY FIRST "REAL" DIET DAY. AROUND 5PM I BECAME DOUBLED OVER WITH EXCRUCIATING PAIN IN MY STOMACH AND LOWER BACK. ALL DAY YESTERDAY AND MOST OF TODAY I HAVE FELT VERY BLOATED AND DISTENDED IN MY STOMACH. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST FROM ALL THE OVER EATING I HAD BEEN DOING. I FINALLY JUST HAD TO TAKE 2 800ML MOTRIN FOR THE PAIN AFTER TRYING A HOT BATH, LAYING DOWN, WALKING AROUND, ETC, WAS DOING NOTHING TO ELEVIATE THE PAIN. IM WORRIED I MAY HAVE OHSS AND CAN NOT DO THIS DIET. HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED THIS AND WHAT DID YOU DO? DO I CONTINUE TO STAY ON IT THROUGH THE PAIN, DISCONTINUE USE? ANY SUGGESTIONS?

    I don't know what OHSS is but I can tell you after 800mg Ibuprofen doesn't work anymore. 800 is the most you can take

    If you think you have the ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome, (I think that is what it is) you should at a minimum go to your doctor and if in severe pain, you should go to the emergency room. Here is some info I found on the web:

    Here are some things you can do at home to feel better:

    * Take over-the-counter pain relievers, such as Tylenol.
    * Don’t overexert yourself; take it easy while you recover.
    * While you shouldn’t overexert yourself, you should maintain some light activity. Total bed rest can increase the risk of some complications.
    * Put your feet up. This can help your body get rid of the extra fluid.
    * Sex should be avoided until you feel better. Sexual activity may increase your discomfort, and in the worst case scenarios, may cause ovarian cysts to leak or rupture.
    * Don’t drink alcohol (as if you would when you’re trying to get pregnant!) or caffeinated drinks, such as coffee, colas or caffeinated energy drinks.
    * Do drink plenty of fluids, around 10 to 12 glasses a day. Drinks with electrolytes, such as Gatorade, are a good choice.

    Your doctor will give you instructions on what to watch for and when to contact him. If your symptoms get worse, you should definitely let them know. She may ask you to weigh yourself daily, to monitor weight gain. If you find yourself gaining 2 or more pounds per day, you should call your doctor.

    In rare cases, you may need to be hospitalized. Hospitalization may include receiving fluids intravenously (through an IV), and they may remove some of the excess fluids in your belly via a needle. You may also be kept in the hospital for careful monitoring until your symptoms lessen.

    Usually, symptoms will decrease and go away once you get your period. If you get pregnant, though, your symptoms may be prolonged, and it may take several weeks to feel completely better. Pregnancy can also make the symptoms worse, so your doctor will want to monitor your situation carefully.

    I think you should go to the emergency room, too.
    You've only been on hcg, at very low doses, for 3 days. It's possible that it's NOT OHHS. It could be something else, like appendicitis or something else very serious.
    Please go get it checked out.

    I'd guess it's not OHHS. I've never seen anyone have that on this low of a dose. It's more likely something like appendicitis or your gallbladder.
