Didn’t feel a thing. When they put the sedation medication in it was just like feeling really drunk. The anaesthetist said I talked all the way through x

I didn't feel anything nothing like I expected. I was very nervous but everyone was lovely. They put the needle and drugs in and before I knew it I was being woken up and given piles of biscuits and cups of tea lol.

They made me go to the loo before I could get dressed, gave me more tea and biscuits and then I was all done.

I would recommend making sure you have some paracetamol as it does get a bit uncomfortable later on but nothing unbearable. Just put your feet up for a day or 2 afterwards. It was a great feeling knowing a big part of the ivf cycle was over :)

Hi linsey

My experience is actually same like you today was nervous but under sedation didn't feel anything and woke up having tea biscuits etc.

Now it's around 7.5hrs gone and my stomach is like very very tight like it's really really full. Just like baloon when it has air in it. Don't know how to explain but yeah mucscles are really tight kind of. Anyone felt same after??
