1. Cut short my hair
My hair was quite long and very thick. Since the egg retrieval will be done in
OT (Operation Theater), i'm sure i need to wear OT attire with the OT cap, so i'm not
sure whether they allow hair band to tie the hair.. so.. to make life easier.. i just cut my
hair short.. And believe it or not, i did my DIY haircut in just less than 5 minutes.. hehe.
Very lazy to go the hair saloon..
2. Buy "special" pant for egg retrieval day
I read somewhere in the internet that after egg retrieval, some people might experience
mild cramp and some other might have a painful one.
So i was thinking that i would need a very comfortable pant to be wear on the egg
retrieval day, just in case my cramp would be a painful one.. If i wear jeans or something
fit, it surely will cause the pain to be even worse..
So i went to a few store in my quest to find that "special" pant. Well it's not easy to find
that pant.. maybe because i'm a bit chubby ;)
However, I finally found my "special" pant at the FOS (Factory Outlet Store) that fit my
criteria - loose and comfortable.. a pant that is made from a soft t-shirt material.. Yessza.
3. Ready all my things at the "special" room
In my last post, i did mentioned that i've prepared the room at the ground level of my
house to be my 2WW room.. or should i call it the "special" room ;).
So before the egg retrieval.. i've prepared all my clothes, toiletries and other important
things at the "special" room. Just in case i wont be able to go to upper level of my house
after the egg retrieval.. ;P
Just me... jams

Hi LittleLittle
ReplyDeleteYes.. i felt the same thing & it's normal according to the doctor...it's because the injections that we take.. stimulate quite a number of follicles to grow so that there will be more chances to get more eggs during the retrieval.
So.. don't worry if you tummy get bloated.. but if it makes your tummy feel painful.. you better check with your doctor..you might be experiencing Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS).
You can read some info on OHSS in the website below:

Hope this will help ;)
And.. all the best for your IVF journey... jams
