Egg Retrieval - Anesthesia or No?

Danielle • Dog Mom x3 🐕 . Married 💍 3.10.18. One angel baby (MMC @ 8w) 👼🏻. One IVF rainbow baby 🌈👶🏻.

So I’m in my pre-procedure month for IVF, which means I’m about a month away from egg retrieval if all goes well. I originally said I didn’t want to pay the extra money for anesthesia, and would just do the pain medicine, but I’m wondering what everyone’s experience was like who did NOT do anesthesia for the retrieval. Did you wish you had done the anesthesia? I like to think I have a decent pain tolerance but don’t want to get into the procedure and be in a bunch of pain.
