Well, just to update... It took 2-3 months to fully go down after the OHSS, but it seems to be very rare. I have literally only heard of (with lots of research!!) of one person ever getting OHSS with only 50mg clomid. I hope none of you get it, but do want to make people aware of the symptoms.

I think its more common than they let on to be honest hun, I had it too even on a total of 150mg over the 4 days! xxx

I am hypothyroid and took 100 mg clomid last cycle. I had all the symptoms of early mild ohss. I spent much of last month laying around feeling super crappy (vomitted and the whole nine yards), drinking gatorade and reading. I finally stumbled upon articles explaining of the concept of spontaneous ohss with women who are hypothhyroid.

It made more sense why that would happen then so easily to me when 50 mg had worked so well with my son 3 yr ago. BUT---> I took metformin for pcos also along with the clomid back then and this can help prevent ohss I just read. My hypothyroidism had not yet been diagnosed. /thought my problem was mainly PCOS. Taking metformin lowers prolactin levels (high prolactin level inhibits normal ovulation) and excess circulating androgens(testosterone) that are made by the ovaries due to pcos- metformin makes the outside of the ovaries less tough so ovulation occurs easily just when it should.
