I had my egg collection yesterday.
All been fine just a little discomfort.
However just I’ve been toilet for number 2 and now I’m in really bad pain. Stomach cramps, my stomach feels on fire and really bloated worse than it’s been.
I’m trying lie down as sitting up really hurts.
When I’d finished on toilet I had some brown discharge when I wiped ... is this normal?
Not started pessaries yet they start in morning.
Thanks for any help ladies xxx
Bit bleeding normal.when u come out from loo relax in comfortable position. Drink plenty of water. U will b ok😊
Thank you xx
After my first collection I got really bad pains and it was where they had been manipulating my insides to try and get to my ovaries - they were worse on day 2 and when I sat upright I felt like I had a carving knife going up through my body.
Do you know if they struggled a bit to find your ovaries?
Brown spotting is normal - i've had that both times. and TMI but because our bodies are on hyper ovulation mode (not a technical term) you often have more CM than normal so the brown spotting seems to be more than it often is.. its just spread out a lot as there is more CM there.
if you are worried then do call your clinic for reassurance xx
They always struggled to find my left ovary during scans so I can imagine so.
They didn’t say anything at the time though.
I will call tomorrow for reassurance when they open.
Thank you for getting back to me at least now I know this is normal xx
I am exactly the same = they often couldn't find my left ovary on scans and in the first EC they apparently had two nurses pushing down full force on my tum to try and move my bowel and womb out of the way! if they have done anything similar that would explain the pain.. I ended up having a 2 day transfer that cycle and have looked in my diary and day 2 was the worse, day 3 was uncomfortable but day 4 I was pretty much back to normal. but I managed Ikea on a Saturday on day 3 so uncomfortable was clearly bearable 😂 good luck xx
😂 so tomorrow I can go shopping lol
Thank you for your advice it truly has helped. It’s going off slightly now. I think it’s because I went toilet. Maybe they have pressed my bowels a lot lol xx
My stomach was really messed up for a couple of days after EC because of the anaesthetic. I got pain when I ate anything for 2 days after. Don't panic, drink plenty of water and stick to light foods, nothing too rich/fatty/spicy
It has started after food this evening but not after eating at lunch. Maybe is the food adding to the problem I will stick to light food now thank you x
I ate pepperoni pizza after mine - probably the worst thing I could have chosen!!
I had the exact same! Awful stomach problems for a good week after collection. Totally normal but a real pain. Take some paracetamol if you're really struggling and pop a hot water bottle on your tum x
Thank you will try the hot water bottle x
It really helped me!
After egg collection, this does happen. One of the reasons why it is important to bed rest. I would suggest that at least for a few days rest completely. Don't work a lot. Good luck to you. I hope things go well. If you experience a lot of pain then do visit your doctor. Sending warm wishes.
Thank you for your kind words and wishes. I will rest and take it easy xx
I was exactly the same after both my egg collections! I’m only just feeling normal again now xxx
Thank you! I feared the worst of infection. It’s actually calmed down now thank goodness. Glad your feeling normal again xxx
I remember sitting up being uncomfortable for several days after EC. It subsided eventually. Take care of yourself and get plenty fluids xx
