Hi. This is my first IVF and I'm stimming for 12 days. So far 10 follicles and I don't have any side effects. No discomfort or anything so far. I'm planned for egg retrieval by Tuesday or Wednesday morning. What worries me are the apparent side effects of egg retrieval. I've heard that I may feel miserable for weeks after ER, with pain, bloating, nausea...A friend of mine had ER last year and she was out for weeks. They got 5 mature eggs but her experience was horrible with a lot of pain, bloating and nausea. She was sick all the time and practically unable to move around. To be honest, I'm quite scared but I don't want to miss this.What are your experiences with egg retrieval? How did you feel during and after ER? When did you start to feel better? I'd appreciate any information and suggestions on what to expect and how to feel better.

Thanks!
