Tips for egg collection

[amandac84]

Hi all I know I posted earlier, but what are you tips for egg collection day and the few says after waiting to the development news? X

Plan to get some good rest afterwards. I slightly underestimated how uncomfortable I would feel after and needed a good 3 days of relaxing after collection day. As for mentally afterwards... I tried to keep my mind occupied but letting my body rest. Things I did to pass the time - designing a photo book of our holiday snaps, read a book or two and a bit of gentle gardening. Good luck x

I had the day of egg collection off work and then had a weekend to recover. I mainly slept after egg collection but did go for a long, gentle walk the two days after to keep me positive (I love being out in nature). Have some paracetamol handy for the next couple of days as you can be a bit achey (but it’s likes slight period pain so I was ok without). I would plan a couple of activities that keeps your mind focused on other things but treat yourself to the things you enjoy most. Best of luck xx

Hey Amanda,

I had mine yesterday. It was uncomfy, but I already feel much better today.

Get lots of rest, lots of water, paracetamol, Netflix, chocolate 😉

Best of luck for your EC. Let us know how it goes xx
