What's normal after egg collection.

Hiya, I had 15 eggs collected on Friday and was just wondering how people felt after and what was normal?

I have on and off pains in my sides, feels a bit like stitch. I am also feeling bloated in my upper abdomen, a bit gassy and indigestion type feeling with occasional sharp pains.

I'm drinking plenty, going to the loo as normal and think I'm just over thinking things really. I am planning on returning to work tomorrow although the hubby does not want me too as I'm still walking a bit gingerly.

Ps not having a transfer so won't be seeing clinic for a while.

Thanks

Sounds normal to me too, I would take some more time off if your not feeling 100% like Dreams said work will still be there in a few days. Look after yourself xx

I was the same last year but I think it’s cause of the emotional build up to EC to, it definitely wipes you out. Make sure you keep drinking tons of water that’ll help with the bloating xx

Sound very similar to how I was!! I also had EC on a Fri, was okay after it but then in quite a lot of pain on the Sat, easing off by Sun!!

Altho like you I still had twinges on and off & bloating Mon and Tue. Had my transfer on the Wed and remember feeling better by then!!

Take the time you need, like the others said work will still be there after!! Drink loads of water & rest up!! xx
