I felt sick, bloated and generally icky - dont worry about it too much but maybe mention it to the doctors if it gets worse. I said i had niggling pain and the docs just said its to be expected you've alot going on! Xx

Yeah that's how I feel kind of glad I only have a few folicles if I had a lot more I'm guessing I'd feel worse lol my boobs started to be really sore yesterday but after that trigger last night they are even worse think il try spend the day sleeping lol x

I felt dreadful the day before egg collection and ended up going straight to bed after work! I think it's a combination of the trigger injection plus the fact your ovaries are working overtime and then some! Good luck for your treatment xxx

Hey I felt really sick and very tired the day before EC. I managed the morning in school. My two classes tired me. But then the head sent me home as I got all teary and she knew I was struggling!

I went home and lay on the sofa in my coat with a cover over me lol!!! Dragged myself to acuptunture and then went to bed after.

Remember your body is doing lots of things it wouldn't normally do so you will feel tired and strained. Hope EC goes well xxx

I'm not due egg collection until Monday and I've been very uncomfortable for a few days now. Stomach is sore to touch, feels heavy and any little movement causes me a fair amount of pain!! :( x

I dont thing this is a thing to worry about, just visit your doctor for advice. it can also be stress, dont be too hard on yourself. Hope you will conceive successfully and have kids running all around your house. A lot of women cant carry a child and need to go to clinics for surrogacy.

A friend of mine from clinic had similar symptomes, and she was also a bit overemotional, i guess thats rather common case, just be patient to yourself and people around you ok? Keep us up to date please, and make sure to tell doctor about it.

Hey yes horrid. Think of it like having two bunches of grapes hanging from your ovaries. Remember each follicle is about 2cm and depending how many you have.... try think of it as positive, it means you're responding well and have lots of lovely eggs waiting to be picked.

Hot water bottles and ginger helped mexx

Hi Natalie28. Oh dear, not very nice for you. Do make sure you are drinking plenty of water now and after egg collection, just in case your ovaries remain a bit active. All the best for the collection and make sure you have a good rest afterwards. Thinking of you. Diane
