Babydownunder and all the other ladies worried about EPU - i've had two, both with GA and had no problems whatsoever. I also required stitches after my first EPU as they nicked a blood vessel (my FS told me that's so incredibly rare and they if they tried to do that they wouldn't be able to!!), but I honestly felt fine, although there was some slight bleeding for about 12 hours afterwards. I had a several days off after EPU and just made sure I rested well and didn't over exert myself. My clinic does 2 day transfers, so I was back at the clinic only a couple of days after EPU for that, and although the advice is continue on with 'normal life' after a transfer, I also took a few days off after that just to be sure.

So for me it wasn't a scary, painful experience at all. I'd advise you to talk to your FS if you're worried, but you really don't need to be.

All the best girls xx

ps - i'm now 32 weeks pg so these stories do often have happy endings
