It depends on the individual, but generally speaking, the freezing eggs procedure is relatively painless. During the process, a medication will be injected into your hip area to stimulate the release of hormones that cause your body to prepare several eggs for fertilization. You may feel some discomfort at this injection site until anesthetics are administered. Additionally, you may experience mild cramping or bloating as a result of medications and/or egg retrieval. It’s important to talk with your doctor about any potential side effects so that you can be prepared beforehand and manage them properly if they occur.
