murraycod, I did my first EPU in Nov 08. I still remember how terrified I was. It was my first ever general anaesthetic... At the time we were in the process of finally getting some life insurance and I was so scared that I made sure I had that signed and finalised prior to the EPU. And in the end, it was the easiest part of the whole process! I walked into the room, lay on the bed, had the IV inserted and woke up in recovery feeling more rested than I had in weeks! I had some mild cramping after, but no bleeding. (I had some bleeding for IVF#2, but then none again for #3.) I'm actually looking forward to it this time - two days off work - bliss!!
