Hey ladies, looking for some advice/positivity from you lovely bunch!!

After 16 long days of stim's, y'day they confirmed EC for tomorrow!! Terrrified as I've never had any sort of surgical procedure never mind this (well minus the HSG).

We've come so far since crap baseline scan though, so I can't let us down now!! We now have 11 follies (7 already at size they'll go in to, 2 they hope will catch up & 2 too small).

Positive thoughts / experience welcome.....๐Ÿ˜ณ ๐Ÿ€ xx

I was given a local anaesthetic and didn't feel anything, I was completely knocked out actually. I didn't come back around until I was doing back into the recovery room. Don't worry, you will be fine ๐Ÿ™‚.

Afterwards you'll probably feel quite tender and maybe have period type pains. Regular paracetamol should help keep the pain at bay and drink plenty of water.

Good luck for tomorrow ๐Ÿ™‚ Hope all goes well xxx

If it's any consolation my clinic didn't knock me out either lol. I was fully awake and fully aware. I had a drip in my arm for pain relief and had to use a pain relief suppository on the morning of EC too. It was a little bit painful a couple of times but I was able to tell them and they just topped up my pethadine. It wasn't anywhere near as bad as I'd feared. If I can do it anyone can do it ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป xx

I know it's easier said than done but try not to worry, I had sedation and pain relief and although I remember the beginning like being in the room, I have no memory of the actually procedure just thinking that was over quick. Wishing you lots of luck xx

I has pain meds only and was pretty out of it. Just felt abit stingy, nothing to worry about. I stressed so much for not reason!

My clinic does sedation - didn't know a thing, apparently they give you pain relief up the "back passage" too!! (I found that quite amusing on the day of EC - anything to get through!!!).

After procedure is done you wake up fairly quickly & once you've eaten & gone to the toilet you will get released!

Good luck - the worst bit for me was getting the canula in for the pain relief - the rest is a breeze! x

It's really ok! In a weird way I really don't mind it! I was sedated and didn't feel or know a thing, pretty much the same as being put under for an op. Good luck! And make sure you keep drinking lots of water from then till after your transfer x

It really nothing to worry about, I had sedation and didn't feel or remember a thing. I enjoyed the best cuppa tea and biscuit afterwards!

I was terrified no joke. I was given pain meds without sedation. Its just abit stingy. I wish i had known before as i caused myself so much stress for nothing.

You will be fine x

Wow that's great. I have had three ecs and honestly they are one of the easiest bits. You won't feel a thing and will be asleep the whole time. It is very quick too. Try to relax and be so proud of yourself for getting this far.good luck tomorrow xxx

I've had four ECs and been sedated every time, all I remember was seeing the ceiling tiles going all 'swimmy' and then you're out! You'll be fine hun xxx

Hi, I am sure everything will be fine. You will be sedated and wont remember a thing. I was in some pain when I came round but they gave me some pain killers and it soon went away. Make sure you drink plenty of water to prevent OHSS. Best of luck xxxx
