Brief Answer:
Back pain is not reduced at all?

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Good to hear from you.

I remember you having these problems especially severe back pain and inability to walk. I want to know if it's same as after IUI or you see 50% reduction atleast?

Breast soreness and discharge are due to progesterone hormone which is normal and expected.

Back pain if not reduced by 50%, take pain killers available over the counter.

Also book an appointment with your doctor for an ultrasound scan to rule out OHSS.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

what's the ultrasound scan for? may I require

Answered by Dr. Mahesh Koregol (27 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
OHSS

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

When there are more follicles (4 in your case), there is possibility of a condition called OHSS ( ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome) leading to fluid collection in abdomen causing pain and bloating sensation.

Another possibility is ovarian torsion. Both of these can be identified by ultrasound scan.

Brief Answer:
Congratulations

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Congratulations. You are pregnant.

Planet serum beta hCG blood test done to check pregnancy status accurately.

Implantation occurs after about 5 days of ovulation. Hence you are likely to be pregnant.

Ovulation tester cannot be used as pregnancy tester.

sorry but I did a pregnancy test and it didn't show any line at all.
probably was that the trigger shot which is the cause of the faint line

Brief Answer:
Serum beta hCG blood test after four days

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It is difficult to differentiate if positive test is due to trigger injection or pregnancy.

Wait for another 4 days and get serum beta hCG blood test which accurately predicts pregnancy.
