How long did all the crampy uncomfortableness last after egg retrieval?

𝓜𝓻𝓼. 𝓛

I had my egg retrieval procedure yesterday at 8am and I’m still feeling super crampy and uncomfortable. Is it normal to still be feeling this way? I am a nanny to 4 children and I have to go to work tomorrow 😅 I really wish I felt better.

About 4 days, I just rested all the time - that’s really helped

It’s 4 days now and I feel alright. My left ovary is still a bit sore but I think that’s just because I had 10 pretty large follicles on that side

Totally normal. I have had three Retruevals and all recoveries were a little different. I had cramping and bloating for 3 to 5 days. It gradually got better each day. Hope you feel better soon!

I never had cramping after, so it’s possible it will go away soon!
