Day 4 Post ER - still feeling pain but nurses not concerned

Hi all, I'm 35F and am in day 4 post egg retrieval, was able to retrieve 23 eggs but the recovery has been difficult.

I have a lot of abdominal pain especially when my bladder is full - I've been able to have regular bowel movements (even with loose stools) but I'm still feeling a ton of pain and gas buildup to the point where my abdomen hurts when I walk and also when I burp, and I haven't been able to find a good sleeping position.

I've reached out to the nursing team and they didn't seem concerned since I haven't been gaining 2+ pounds per day when I weigh myself in the morning and told me to continue with Advil, Tylenol, and simethicone for gas release.

Is this a sign of light OHSS that I should raise concern with the nursing team? Is there any suggestion of what supplements or other remedies I can take if I'm already trying to drink and eat as many electrolytes, salty foods, and protein heavy foods as possible?

Thank you!
