Hello, I just got pregnant from egg donation and I am a little scared about possible complications. Are there any things I need to watch Hello ladies, this is my second ivf cycle, the first cycle was in June which failed after 9days from spotting to bleeding. But this time I have gone through 2 failed rounds of Natural IVF where they don't give me any drugs and take my one naturally ovulated egg.
Both times I was also VERY bloated after my retrieval, and I only had about follicles total with 11 retrieved. My stomach also felt super sore after. I was never diagnosed with OHSS, though. Cut down on heavy starches such as bread, potatoes and pasta as they can cause water retention.
Avoid artificial sweeteners, as they contain sugars and starches that can cause gassiness and bloating. Eat the right fiber. Soluble fiber will add to bloating. Soluble fiber is found in food such as apples, oranges, pears, beans, oats and lentils. Insoluble fiber is better for you as it does not dissolve in water; it adds bulk to waste matter to help it move through the gut. It is found in whole-grain foods, brown rice, barley, broccoli, cabbage, nuts and seeds. Avoid fizzy drinks.
Activated charcoal. This supplement safely absorbs gas and reduces bloating. Do not use any scented lotions, hair products, make-up or perfume the day of the retrieval. Odors can be toxic to embryos so they are not allowed in the operating room. Wear comfortable clothing to your appointment. You will likely experience some cramping and discomfort after your procedure.
Be prepared for some spotting, this is normal. Once you check in for your retrieval you will be taken to an exam room where you will change in to a gown and have in IV started.
Your vitals will be taken and a nurse will go over instructions with you, sign consents and answer any questions you may have. An anesthesiologist will come in and talk to you about your retrieval, medications used, and take a brief medical history.
We will then escort you to the OR, making a stop at the restroom so you can empty your bladder. Once in the OR, an embryologist will come in to confirm your ID and you will be asked to view a monitor on the wall where your Petri dish with your name on it will appear. This is where your eggs will be placed and fertilized after the retrieval.
Once you have identified your dish, you will go to sleep for approximately minutes. A speculum is placed so Dr. Robins can clean the vaginal area with warm saline. Then a vaginal ultrasound probe is used to identify the ovaries. An aspiration needle attached to the probe is used to penetrate the vaginal wall and enter the ovaries to remove the egg and follicular fluid from each of the follicles.
Robins first aspirates one ovary, then moves on to the next. The length of this process depends on how many follicles are in each ovary. This process typically takes minutes. Once all the follicles have been aspirated, the vaginal area is cleaned, the speculum is removed and the procedure is complete. From the OR you will go to the recovery area. You will wake up from the anesthesia within minutes after the surgery.
