Egg collection sedation or anestetic ?

so I had a monitoring scan today and while I was there I had to fill in a form about reactions to meds etc..

I want to know how everyone got along with egg collection? did you have a bad time of it? was it worse or better then you expected and what sort of sedation did you have?

thanks in advance

So excited for you, not long now to wait.

My EC was under sedation, they told me I would feel drowsy. But all I remember was the aneasthetist describing what they were about to do then the next thing I remembered was the nurse saying well done!!

I know everyone reacts differently to EC, I was tired for a couple of days and tender (standing straight felt like an effort!!)

I have my fingers crossed for you xx

Thanks andi I was leaning towards sedation as I respond well to it and don't like the feeling when your coming round after general? Going to ask tomorrow and see what they say x

I had a pretty rough time through most of mine, but they put it down to OHSS after taking 30 eggs! But i would definately go for sedation again, you just go to sleep and when you wake up half an hour later its all done... i wasnt in too much pain... standing and walking was a little tender and felt very sick but again this was down to OHSS.

You must be so excited... i know i am for you... cant wait to hear how you get on with it all
