Bloating after egg collection.

Hey everyone, I was just wandering how everyone felt after egg collection? On the actual day I was great, went shopping lunch etc... Where as a lady I spoke to was awful and could hardly move. However 2 days later, I am SO bloated, my boobs are so sore, headaches, cramps and feel sick 😷. Sorry for winning, I know it will hopefully all be worthwhile. But my boyf has freaked me out saying maybe I should contact the clinic?? Has anyone else felt like this? Or How did you feel? Xx

I felt so rough as soon as I awoke from the egg collection and this continued for a few days.

I feel a lot better now but I'm still bloated :( or I've just put on weight lol

If your worried ring clinic as you don't want to feel worse worrying about it all xx

Personally I wouldn't worry hun :) my ovaries hurt for almost the full 2 weeks and I was very bloated. The procedure is quite intrusive and it is normal to be sore.

The symptoms for progesterone are very similar to pg or a period... my boobs were agonising but got less and less as the 2ww went on. They actually went up a cup size too! Are u on the pessaries?

It is a cruel waiting game with a mixture of zero symptoms and then all the symptoms and then back to zero! Or at least it was in my case!

My otd is tomorrow :) good luck to you hun and if you ever are really worried call your clinic xxx

I felt rubbish after the collection for a good few days...make sure you keep drinking plenty of water, but If you don't urinate for the amount you are drinking and have other potential ohss symptoms then make sure you call the clinic....x
