What to expect after IVF egg retrieval

1.After egg retrieval, there may be slight abdominal pain, back pain and other discomfort due to a small amount of ooze around the ovaries, so bed rest is needed for 1-2 days. 2.Because the ovaries are larger than usual during the ovulation promotion cycle, daily activities such as turning over and relieving yourself should be gentle, slow and smooth to prevent ovarian torsion. 3.Prohibit strenuous activities, bathing, intercourse and vaginal douching. 4.Please follow the doctor’s instructions on the use of medication. 5.If you have sudden severe abdominal pain, fever or vaginal bleeding, please contact your doctor in time. 6.Inject progesterone intramuscularly from the day of egg retrieval. Progesterone is an oil, which should not be absorbed and is easy to form hard knots. The following precautions should be noted: alternate sides, long needles for deep intramuscular injection, and press the injection site for no less than 10 minutes after the injection. After the injection, fresh potato slices about 1 mm thick can be applied, and after 12-24 hours, hot moist towels can be used to apply hot compresses locally for about 30 minutes, taking care to avoid burns. 7. Generally after egg retrieval, the affected person will have more or less discomfort in the lower abdomen, slight pain and swelling, that is caused by the egg retrieval surgery and a small amount of fluid in the pelvis, don’t worry. Don’t worry about it. These symptoms will soon disappear with time. If you have more eggs and have ovarian hyperstimulation, the symptoms will tend to worsen after the embryo transfer, and you may even experience stomach pain, nausea, lack of appetite, inability to eat, and low urine output, then you should return to the hospital for treatment at this time.
