MSfamily,
Think I'll wait for the blood test.
Nancy, Oink,
Natural FET means that they will monitor you cycle for signs if ovarian follicle growing and watch for when it releases the egg(ie ovulates) and then put in the egg only after that happens. It's the best (closest to normal), since all others are artificially-created thickened lining in uterus and natural FET is a natural one.
Budderball,
Yah, can guess by the risk factors,as the others have mentioned, like having PCOS/ many many follicles and many eggs retrieved. But the actual OHSS where there is a LOT of tummy swelling only occurs after ER. There are 2 peaks, one is soon after the ER, when the very enlarged ovary releases all the hormones, and second peak is when you are pregnant already ( baby creates the hormone or something like that) & so if ppl get it quite near the end of 2ww, almost guaranteed you are pregnant.
Many ppl have mild forms, like a lot of us, but only a very number actually get it bad enough to require admission for protein plasma drip and so on, so dont worry, it's not s big deal. This website gives some more info. -perhaps more useful for those now having some bloating in 2ww adn worried about it--> please read.
