Egg collection

[Rachaelrix86]

Well went for my first scan to see how things were progressing an things moving faster than expected egg collection happening Friday eeeek

Just wondering how you ladies found egg collection with sedation last time I was put to sleep an this time I'm braving with sedation saving myself £300 !! So just wondering how u all found it x

Hi, I only had sedation on both occasions plus they give you something to make you relax. I found it more or less painless both times, I didn't even have the painkiller suppository they give to you beforehand. Both times I kind of just drifted off, i'm sure you'll be fine

Best of luck for Friday x

I had mine last Friday, first time being sedated, I asked the nurse if I would fall asleep and she said its already over! Found the experience quite nice as I was so happy when they took me to recovery that I hadn't remembered anything!

I wish I hadn't worried about egg collection at all!x

I had a crossiant...It was the best crossiant of my life whilst I was still high on medication

I had sedation both times and can't remember a thing, woke up pain free in recovery room. Tea and toast was yummy 😀

I was awake the whole time! It got uncomfortable at the end, but I was fine the minute they finished.

It was painful an I was so anxious it was a horrible experience but they got 8 eggs so fingers crossed for the next chapter . They also said that my remaining tube was swollen an they are not sure if it will affect the chances of success if it fails I may have to have it out but I'm hoping that won't happen

Hi Rachaelrix86. Ouch! It's often painful, but it's now done with, so have a good rest and take some paracetamol if necessary. Make sure you drink lots of water too. Hope all goes well with the fertilisation. Diane
