Egg freezing, part 3
from procedure to 3 weeks post-op
It’s officially been 3 weeks since the egg retrieval procedure and I am just about feeling like myself again. I’ve been taking some time reflecting on this process, and this will probably be the last post before the anonymous Q + A.
In case you missed it:
I am incredibly grateful that it was an overall very positive experience. Sure, there were a few mishaps, though I generally felt great all the way through.
This post is about the recovery period immediately after the procedure up until today, 3 weeks after the procedure.
I initially thought the post would be until I got my expected period, which if on schedule would have been 2 weeks after the procedure. However, due to the side effects of one of the medications, I got a period just 5 days after the retrieval.
This, among other things, was something I wish I knew a bit more about.
Read on for:
