| How long does it last? I had an egg retrieval over 24 hours ago and I still feel so bloated and tender in my abdomen. Everything I have read says it will last until my next period and just wondering if that has been what others experienced. |

| For me, the major discomfort lasted about 3 days, but I felt bloated for a good few weeks. But my body is hyper sensitive and I have endo, so it's likely going to be different for you. Good luck! |

| I felt like my organs and intestines were all scrambled up for about three days. I did use the lortab they prescribed for about 24 hours. Then colace because I hadn't pooped in over 24 hours. Now I'm day 5 after and feeling normal. Had my transfer today! |

| Scrambled organs is a good way to describe it! I am on day two and still feeling tender and bloated, but I can tell the discomfort is lessening. Your experiences helped me feel confident there is relief soon. Thanks! |

| I had five retrievals. Pain ranged from nothing to barely being able to get in and out of the car without whimpering for three days. |
