Another symptom of hyperstimulation is gain of inches around the waist
and sudden weight gain. One help with reducing effects of
hyperstimulation is to drink plenty of fluids (lots of water). Sounds
strange, but will help. VERY few people hyperstimulate on clomid
(although Melanie and I know that at least two in the world have). And
if you have difficulty breathing, call doc immediately. I think PCOSers
tend to hyperstimulate more often than women without it.
