I have an underlying rare disease that might be causing my issues, but my AMH and FSH is within normal range (althought not top notch). Now it's been almost 8 months with the fertility clinic; trying letrozole, bemfola, canceling cycles to do new examinations, having mysterious liquid in uterus, few, slow growing eggs, thin endometrial lining etc. etc. To say the least, it's been a long journey to my first ever egg retrieval on Friday. We're hoping on being able to get 4 eggs. I know it's not much, but we keep telling ourselves: it only takes 1 egg.

My question to you, have you experienced an awake (with pain meds of course) egg retrieval? (It's standard in my country) What should I prepare for?

Any encouraging words are also appreciated ❤️

Take care!
