Egg retrieval for ivf.

Kayla
I just started ivf. Did the BC pills now started meds. I'm really nervous about egg retrieval. I started menopur and gonal today. The retrieval is estimated around 4th. Just worried about anesthesia. Any advise to help me sleep At night and not stress.

I also had a wonderful IVF experience. First time worked for me. Currently 8 months prego with embryos frozen for later. Retrieval wasn't bad at all. Good luck!

I was so nervous about egg retrieval but it is was super easy. My darling SO drive me to & from, and the nurse were great. It was a quick procedure. I took the day off work & rested. A heat pad or hot water bottle on your lower abdomen helps afterwards. I only had slight brief cramping, and not even all of my 3 retrievals. However - I only had 3-4 eggs. I think maybe if you have heaps of eggs (some ladies get 30!) it can be a bit more painful.

* I recalled nothing. Couldn't remember the retrieval.

Also my anaesthesia wasn't full general but basically what they call twilight- apparently not totally asleep- but overall nothing. I felt really relaxed before & afterwards.

Trust me I was terrified of the anesthesia but you don't even remember going to sleep and it seems like a minute later you're awake. Don't be stressed in the least, I promise you!
