Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,
The first period after egg retrieval can be very light, very heavy, prolonged or shortened it varies. You should count this as a period and wait for 2 more cycles and only then consider embryo transfer as advised by your doctor.
You need to recover and only then consider embryo transfer as OHSS can be a very serious condition and proper recovery from it is required before considering pregnancy.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
