Hi Miss Scarlet,

The girls have covered just about everything to a T. When i have had egg pick up and have always had 5days off work, everyone is different on how they feel after egg pick up , i was sore for days, and the bloated heavy feeling has always lasted weeks. Some girls just breeze thru it but not me, the day of EPU or should i say a few hours after i am very very sore, hot water bottle or hot pack is recommended after egg pick up with panadol only. You might be on of the lucky ones who don't suffer to bad, i never had alot of eggs so that does not seem to make a difference, my clinic does not use general anes but some clinics do, they just use a local on me which helps but still feel it, i wish you luck with the first cycle, at first it is a little confusing etc but lets just you only have to do it once.
