I did three retrievals. First round was fine, second round was fine until the trigger when my blood pressure shot way up and stayed up for several weeks until I got on BP meds (never had a single high BP reading before this). Third round was additional drugs but really rough symptoms from start to finish. Third round got us our only AA embryo 🤷🏻♀️
Reddit’s egg freezing thread is a great resource as well
I didn't freeze my eggs as looking for fresh embryos but same process for retrieval. Been through it 6 times thus far. I didn't really have too many issues. Recovery for me was just a long nap then ready to go the rest of the day. Don't second guess! Wish I had frozen mine when I was younger. You are being smart!
My 2nd round was harder from start to finish because my body responded better (more follicles, more eggs, more healthy embryos). So I felt more uncomfortable earlier in the injection period and my recovery was more difficult vs. my 1st round. But after 3-4 weeks I was back to normal.
I did three retrievals. I think the second was the most emotional for me. Knowing what to expect helps with recovery, etc. Mine went way better than the first (5 eggs in first retrieval, more than double that in second). The journey is hard. Give yourself some extra grace. 🩵
Thanks everyone for the responses! It’s comforting to know you’re not alone with this, even if at times it feels so overwhelming

Did three rounds, only last one resulted in an eupleoid embryo. Last one was also the most emotionally difficult. Lots of crying. Sending baby dust to you.
don’t have answers but i am getting ready to start my first round and feeling pretty anxious and emotional as well. why do you say okayish
