After your eggs have been collected, you will be taken to our private ward, where the nursing team will take over your care before you go home. Here, they will ensure you are feeling well enough to be discharged.
Due to the use of general anaesthetic, we recommend that you do not drive for 24 hours after egg recovery, so you will need to bring someone along with you to accompany you home.
Following egg collection, you may feel tired, bloated and have some mild abdominal pain. There is also the likelihood of some light vaginal bleeding for a few days afterwards. These symptoms are perfectly normal after egg recovery.
Should you need to take something for the pain, paracetamol is recommended. You will be given our contact information, including an emergency out-of-hours number that you can contact with any concerns you have once you get home, we will be at the other end of the phone should you need any aftercare.
