What Could Cause Rapid Weightgain After Becoming Pregnant By Using Fertility Drugs And IUI?
I m 4 1/2 weeks pregnant. I used fertility drugs and became pregnant through IUI. Today my Dr told me both my ovaries are the size of grapefruits. My abdomen is the size of a 4 month pregnancy. I have gained 3 lbs in two days. Dr said if I continue to rapidly gain weight and my abdomen gets larger to call and he will admit me to the hospital. Can you please tell me what could be causing these symptoms? Thanks!

Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
It is called as ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome and is seen in patients with polycystic ovaries.
In case you gain a lot of weight then you might need albumin infusions.
Keep your protein intake on higher side so as to help you recover from this all.
