I'm having a slight freak out right now. I recently went through an IVF cycle and had egg collection a couple of weeks ago. I was just in the shower and (tmi ) felt inside my vagina and could feel something odd. When I pulled my finger out there was a stitch on it! And there is definitely still more in there. No one told me that there would be stitches. I was under the impression that it's just a needle (albeit a big one) that goes through the vaginal wall, so I never imagined that it would require stitches!

I'm a little embarrassed to be asking about it, but my concern is greater than my embarrassment. Is it normal to have stitches?
