Egg retrieval

[Katied84]

Hi everyone!! I'm due for egg collection on Monday and to be honest, I'm absolutely pooping myself about it! Can anyone tell me what it's like, how it feels etc?! Xx

Mine was under general anaesthetic and was fine. Small amount of pain after but nothing major. I was nervous too but it was fine. I know some have it under sedation so can't really answer for that. Good luck though x

Hello. I had two of these done. The first time I was petrified like you. They will come and talk to you beofre you go into the room, they will ask you a bunch of questions get you to fill out a form. Explain what the procedure is. But you are completly knocked out. So you won't feel anthing. The procedure takes 10-12 mins. That is when hubby will do his bit of you are using his sperm. The rest of the time they keep a on you once you come around. They get you to go to the toilet to check you have no pain and or bleeding. Then they should tell you how many eggs they collected. They generally advice you to have the next day of. Good luck. X

Hi I had egg collection over a week ago under sedation and I didn't feel a thing and had very little pain afterwards. I remember the lady telling me she was putting second sedation drug in and the next thing I remember was having a cup of tea back in the room. I had a cuppa and then went home and rested all day, they said I might feel drowsy but I felt fine. They told us when I came round how many eggs they had collected. Good luck and please don't worry you'll be fine x

When I had my collection done the staff at the clinic were lovely and explained everything. I was given general as I think my main clinic told them what I'm like with needles. I was fortunate not to have pain after but took a paracetamol just in case. Hope all goes well xxx

Hi, I was sedated for my egg collection, although I was awake I cant remember any of it. I was quite tired the rest of the day but it is fine. Try not to worry and good luck xxxxxxx

Hi please don't worry, I had sedation and wasn't offered anything else but it was the same as being asleep - I didn't feel a thing and was not aware of anything. Next thing I know it's over and im waking up in the room! I had hardly any pain after and just took paracetamol once. I promise you it will be over before you know it and you won't feel a thing xxx
