Water retention

Hi ladies, I am on day 8 of stims and feel full of water. My weight increased by 3kg this week which seems to be mostly water. Do you have any recommendations on dealing with that? Thank you!

drink lots of water with electrolytes(mineral water, coconut water, electrolytes in a pack). And talk to your doctor. My doctor mentioned that weight gain might be a sign of OHSS

Thank you, Margarita! I started drinking coconut water yesterday and ordered more electrolytes. I only have 13 eggs growing at this point, do you feel OHSS can appear even with this number?

I am on my first round and don’t have much of experience for now, but I am at risk of OHSS, so did some research.
at this point all you can do is to drink more electrolytes and have more protein in your diet.
And your doctor should track your estrogen and consider how follicles are growing, as too many tiny follicles are often the main cause of OHSS.

Thank you so much for sharing! You might be right about smaller follicles as there are 13 more which did not grow yet and may stay as is. I hope your cycle comes to very productive results with many healthy embryo babys! When did you start the stims?

PS: I still feel awful but the water retention reduced in the last two days and my weight came back to the norm. I almost replaced food with coconut water.

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

When did you get a strong positive?

Tested last Friday got a positive faint did a digital said 1-2 weeks which would be about right 4 weeks at the time. Did another this morning still faint…. Slightly worried about it being chemical if it isn’t getting darker. Should I be using all the same type tests?

Any ideas what’s happening with my temp?

Thought I had ovulated but now I’m not so sure, I didn’t record my temp on a couple of days because I’ve been unwell with a fever so it was a lot higher than it should of been
