Avina, I went thru my first IVF cycle last november. I am 27 and unfortunately it was unsuccessful. But my experience with the egg retrieval wasn't to bad. That day I had some mild cramping and pain but nothing severe. By the next day I was feeling as good as I could with ovaries the size of oranges!

Hey Tiff I have a question for you as I am 29 and starting my 21st IVF as well, just like you the only part I'm nervous about is the egg retrieval. I'd guess you've been thru it already.....how was it? Thanks Selina

Hi all,
I am new to this forum and am hoping to get a little info/advice from those of you who have been in my shoes. First a little background info: I am 32, have been ttc for 3 years, have had two surgeries (severe endo, ovarian cysts, asherman's), have had 2 failed IUI's (Nov. 09 and Feb. 10) and am now in the middle of my first IVF cycle. I just started my stims on Friday (225IU Follistim in the morning and evening, in addition to a micro hcg injection each night- I know a lot, but I have a slightly high FSH so this is the plan my RE has in store!). Having done 2 IUI's with injectibles, I knew what to expect from the injections. Nothing too painful, just a burden! Anyway, I am wondering if those of you who have been through IVF can share your experiences with egg retrieval as this is the only part of this entire process (besides the PIO injections) I am nervous about. How painful is it? What is the recovery time like? I am a first grade teacher and know I may need a little extra time off as I am on my feet ALL day. Can you help this first timer out?
Many Thanks,
Tiffany
