OHSS?

I am pretty sure I have ovarian hyper simulation syndrome. I am waiting for my Gyn to call me back. I really thought it was gas but after 3 days it should have been gone. Of course you know I went to dr. google first. Her is what he had to say:

Women who take clomiphene sometimes develop ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), a condition signaled by weight gain and a full, bloated feeling. Some patients also have shortness of breath, dizziness, pelvic pain, nausea, and vomiting. OHSS occurs when you respond too well to the drugs and produce too many eggs; your ovaries rapidly swell to several times their size and leak fluid into your abdominal cavity. Normally this resolves itself with careful monitoring by your physician. But in rare cases it can be life threatening, and you have to be hospitalized for more intense monitoring.

Hope it goes away soon I am tired of feeling this way. Jerri ann looks like you hit the nail on the head.
