[quote=Anonymous]I thought egg retrieval was no big deal, but I tend to have a high pain tolerance and bounce back from anesthesia really quickly. Mine was on a Sunday but if I had one on a weekday - I would have considered going back to work. Clearly, you can see that everyone responds differently though. What did freak me out was how I felt after my trigger. I triggered with HCG and shortly thereafter had some pain in my ovaries for about 24 hours. Similar to the ovulation twinges I would get but much more pronounced because of many more eggs. That was gone by the morning of my egg retrieval so I was a bit worried that I had already ovulated and it was a big bust. Turns out, that's a side effect of triggering with HCG and the pain I felt was from the meds and not actual ovulation. That's the one thing I wish I had known up front. Other than that, I don't think your experience will change drastically in the couple days before trigger. So keep your plans![/quote]
