tima it is such a stressful and terrifying time especially your first egg collection. I had myself worked up into a right mess and was in tears and could hardly breath! I dont know if you have a general or local and relaxant meds which is what I had. The first thing I remember saying afterwards was.....'pffft was that it, it wasnt even remotely bad like I thought'. Like oneday86 said, I too was tender after and my uterus felt rather, I guess, empty would be the right word.
Good luck hun, but I bet you will be fine. Heres hoping you get your BFP.
You'll be fine tima! I was really stressed with my first one. I'd never had an anaesthetic before and procedure wise, that worried me the most. As it was, I remember nothing past the needle going in, and didn't have any pain or nausea so it was all good! 11 follies should be fine. I had 8 with my last one and got 6 blasties - Good luck!
Lol so it appears things really do change everyday!
I went in for another scan on friday to make sure that there were enough follicles before pick up. Thats when the doctor discovers i have too many eggs and have OHSS. My left ovary that had nearly no follicles on tuesday has almost double the amount of my right ovary on friday. Egg pick up has now been changed to monday (yesterday) and 14 eggs were collected.
Not sure if ill have the embryo transfer tomorrow because of the OHSS. Not sure if its just me, but after the OPU ive been struggling to walk. Quite frustrating to have so many others come out of the same procedure and walk straight out. Whereas i was there throwing up and barely able to walk. But all in due time. Will keep you all posted with how many embryo's are successful! Should find out in a few hours!
I'm a little worried that its not normal to feel this achy! I have a feeling its a result from the anesthetic. Not that the pain is that intense, but more achy when i try to walk, hard to sleep because my tummy is quite tense??
Hi tima,
Take care with teh OHSS. you may notice your abdomen getting very bloated and sore. Your ovaries are much bigger than usual and can be very painful with OHSS. MAke sure you rest and get plenty of fluids and keep in touch with your clinic if you have any change in symptoms.
