Egg collection with sedation

15 Replies

Hello, I'm on my first cycle of IVF & so far it's been far better physically than I expected it to be. I'm due to have egg collection tomorrow with sedation. If I was going to be completely knocked out I wouldn't be worried but do you feel anything if only sedated?

Thank you in advance! X

Hi Gracie, I don’t remember a thing about it and I was sedated. I remember her saying to close my eyes if I felt a little dizzy and then nothing until later when I was in recovery, apparently I got myself into bed whilst flashing my bum and I don’t remember it at all. Good luck x

Thank you for your reply, it did make me smile. Hopefully I will not remember much about it too x

I couldn't remember or feel a thing and woke up talking about Rihanna?! A friend of mine was sedated slightly and couldn't feel anything but was able to talk to ask what they were doing! Not sure why it's not consistent! I found this part totally fine and just need a hot water bottle on my belly at home after with some paracetamol for very light cramping. Good luck! Xx

Thank you for your reply. I'm relieved to hear you couldn't feel a thing. I'll try finding a hot water bottle tonight ready for tomorrow x

All I remember is them prepping me for the procedure and then saying it might feel cold in my hand in a minute!! I slightly remember the room spinning a little then next thing I was being woken to to my name being called!!

You’ll be fine, I was so nervous and honestly it’s nothing to worry about!! Xxx good luck xx

I was fine after but a little pain and discomfort started late last night!! The paracetamol sorted it out though!!

I was supposed to be back in work today but I ended up staying off to rest xx good luck 🍀

in reply toLisaworthy1981

Ah bless you. I hope you managed to get plenty of rest today. I'm all stocked up on paracetamol so hopefully I will get comfortable afterwards 🙂

I had egg collection under sedation and I didn’t feel anything and don’t remember anything. I had the drip put in and within seconds I was out, came round coming back into the recovery room.

Try not to worry, you’ll be fine! 🙂

Good luck xxx

Thank you, I quite look forward to feeling out of it now. Thanks for replying x

Remember chatting away to the two lovely male anaesthesticians and then nothing until I was wheeled out

Hi,

I didn't feel a thing! Apparently the doctor told me how many eggs were collected and I responded but when I woke up fully I couldn't remember a thing!

Best wishes with your cycle xx

I didn't feel a thing with my sedation either. Just the coldness of the drugs going up my arm and then out like a light! Next thing I remember I was coming round in recovery. Good luck xx

I didn’t feel a thing and can’t remember very much from the day. When I went back to my cubicle my hubby videoed me bopping away to the radio 🙈 xx
