Have a cover and pillow ready on the sofa for when u get home u will need it.. makes sure someone is with u for 24hrs

Hey Claire. I was surprised at how tired I felt once I'd got home from the procedure; the sedation made me feel a bit groggy, so I would try and get a bit of sleep if you can. I would have at least the next day off work because you may still feel tired. I didn't get any pain so felt back to my normal self in a couple of days so I would say just listen to your body, and drink lots of water xx

[ClaireAlley]

Thank you 🙏🏽. Collection is Monday so fingers crossed xx

[Hidden in reply to ClaireAlley]

Take the drugs! They do combination General/Local anethetic at ours. I love egg collection for this reason 👍

Not for the actual egg collection but after. Make sure you stick to drinking a glass of water each hour. You need to flush everything through to avoid OHSS. The nausea you will feel on the first day will go quite quickly if you stay hydrated.
