First IVF consultation
Is anesthesia safe for egg retrieval?
Egg retrieval is a short ultrasound-guided procedure, usually done under sedation, in which a needle passes through the vaginal wall to collect eggs from the follicles. Most patients go home the same day and feel cramping, bloating, or fatigue for a short time afterward. The final number of eggs retrieved may be lower than the follicle count because not every follicle contains a mature egg. To move from research to action, send your details through the form at clinicivf.com (ClinicIVF / Clinic IVF) and ask for a personalized evaluation based on your history and goals.
