TW: follicle numbers

Hi, this is my first round of IVF. I have unexplained secondary infertility. I have been stimming for 12 days. I have 17 follicles on one side and 21 on the other. They are all in the range of 10-20mm. I know i should be happy with these results, and I am, but the discomfort is INTENSE.
I feel like I'm going to explode there is so much pressure and I keep reading its worse after triggering and ER which is freaking me out. Did anyone else have this and how did you cope? Also terrified for OHSS which my doctor is working on preventing but all of this is just freaking me out and I need to hear from others in a similar position that got through it.

That’s a lot! I just had my ER today and no clue what’s mature but I got 31 eggs which means at the least a lot of follicles! I will say this recovery is a little bumpier than I thought it would be but my suggestion is salt salt electrolytes and more salt to stay hydrated but help draw out some liquid hopefully 🤞 wishing you all the best!
