Ellie,
I was a little tender for a few days but nothing that required any pain killers. I suppose waiting around and taking it easy recovering is similar to waiting around for someting to happen. I had a situation where I delievered one of my girls and had to have D&C to get the retained placenta, I had it done at 10am and was home and being cared by my family by 1pm. Waiting is such a horrible thing and I suppose the medical intervention that we subject ourselves too with the IVF it made it easy for me to think I want to know it is all gone and nothing will hinder my chances next cycle. Hun I feel for you to make a decision like this is tough in a sence it is the end of a cycle that should of worked, I often felt quite empty after it iykwim.
But in saying this I had an Obst tell me that he wouldnt do anything until I delievered the baby even thou she had no chance of life because I would always wonder "What if" and although it was hard at the time to accept I know that I would of thought that now.
But dont give up hope... believe me good things eventually happen to good people
