severe pain after punction

hi there,

i had my 2nd punction for eggcollection 5 days ago. after the first one went super easy, with no pain/ bleeding and i was back to normal after a couple of hours, i struggled much more this time round. about 5-6 hours after the punction i started to have strong and sharp pain coming in waves. i was unable to stand upright, any quick movement or impact on my body was super painful and i avoided using my abdominal muscules for any movements in bed. my belly was bloated and the pain quite moving around in my belly, sometimes it was a like a knife stich under my right shoulder.

in the evening, when i had to use the toilet first time after the operation i fainted several times because the pain while passing the stool was unbearable.

luckily my wife was with me and caught be before falling.

we called the clinic nurse in the afternoon and the emercencynumber of our clinic in the evening, they both told us to wait if it doesn't get worse.

the next morning i had an appointment with my doctor and he saw in the internal and external echopraphy, that there was an internal bleeding. as it wasnt active anymore and rather small (1glass of blood in his words) he said it isnt an emercency and doesnt need treatment at the moment. i should rest and drink a lot.

thats what i did since then, trying to regulate my intestines, eat well, use a warm waterbottle etc. but i dont feel any improvement yet. i didnt have the major pain where i fainted anymore but stil quite immobilising pain episodes.

did anyone ever experienced something similar? do you have any tipps and tricks for me?

as well i will see my doctor again tomorrow, so not just dropping it...

thanks in advance 🌟
