What you should know
The procedure often takes a short time, but recovery and clinic observation take longer. Cramping or light spotting may occur. You will need specific instructions on food, medicines, driving, and when to call. The egg count may differ from the follicle count.
What to ask your care team
“How will pain be managed, and what symptoms should make me call?”
One important reminder
Heavy bleeding, severe pain, fever, fainting, or trouble breathing need urgent evaluation.
Before your next visit
Write down your questions. Bring your medicine list and any test results you have. Ask for a plan in writing. If an answer is not clear, ask your team to explain it in a different way.
