Hey, I had my egg collection on Tuesday morning and still in a lot of pain. Can anyone tell me how long it took them to feel better again. I woke up last night in tears, it hurts so much. Thanks Xx

Hello! Honestly it took me until tues this week (after EC on Friday). I called the clinic to make sure what I was feeling was normal. I had a hot water bottlegluedtome for days! Also started drinking nettle tea to help with bloating. Feel better soon xx

I was in horrendous pain for two days, uncomfortable and bloated for about a week.

You can take ibuprofen at this stage, just switch to paracetamol only after ET.

Took me about 2-3 days to feel Ok. Still felt bloated for ages and ages after and like I'd gone up a dress size. Drink loads of water too. Take time off as long as you can.

It will improve, honestly.

Take care, xxx

Hey, I had terrible pain after mine, couldn't move, apparently it's quite common to develop cysts from EC! It's totally normal tho and doesn't effect ET I was so relieved after they told me I thought I was going mad! It lasted about 4/5 days then calmed right down to just being uncomfortable a little after ET so don't worry unfortunately some of us get pain where some are able to go back to work and all sorts the next day!

Hope u feel better soon and good luck 🍀👶😘 xx

Thank you all for your comments, after spending the whole day in bed I am starting to feel a bit more human. The pains in my stomach have finally eased off. Lets hope it carries on tomorrow. Xx
