Didn’t even take Tylenol and was back to work 12 hours later. It was really night and day, in my case the more eggs equal the more pain and longer recovery.


First retrieval yielded more eggs than this time, but the pain is worse this time.

Thanks!
I spoke to them, thankfully today feels a little better.

+1 to this.
How many eggs were retrieved, OP?



5 eggs, 3 fertilized.
My previous cycle had 17 eggs and 13 fertilized. So crossing fingers.

Got bad cramping and pain after retrieval today. I had the painkillers they prescribed but still in pain. How did you manage the pain? And how long does it take to go away?
Thanks for sharing!
