Surprised to hear it was so easy for so many! My recovery was tougher - stomach was super tender and bloated for two days (couldn’t wear anything with a waistband).. Day three was like a switch flipped - bloating went down significantly. I had my procedure on a Saturday and could not have worked in person that day or the day after. 22 eggs retrieved though, so it was worth it!

First one: okay, but the antibiotics gave me terrible diarrhea (I have a terrible stomach)

Second one: ROUGH. Bloated, painful cramping, exhausted

I was extremely uncomfortable and bloated BEFORE the procedure. After the ER I felt so much better.
