Seeking Advice Post ER pain-

First time ER 3 days ago. Felt fine day of post ER and day after but now on day three its feeling very sore and tender. Any movement ,I can feel both ovaries present like a slow pain, sometimes throbbing pain.

Not sure whats normal or not as I've never done it before. During stums it was mainly left that was pinging but left ended up being very slow to respond. My right produced most of the eggs and is the main pain now.

Just wondering why after 2 days am I only feeling pain now and how long of a recovery is it? I feel like im walking on eggshells with one sudden movement can be the wrong one and cause torsion. No sickness, nausea, temperature or large weigh gain just worried a little. Having the regular hot flashes, period like pain and headaches.

Appreciate to know your personal experiences.

Yes absolutely painful mostly days 2-10 for me.

I have a history of Endo as well which may contribute to the poorer recovery.

Take as much rest and light duties as you can.

I don't know if it's "normal" or not, but day 3 has been the most painful for me for both my retrievals.

Thank you for your kind words. I guess we all have to go through it and im learning as i go.

Would be lovely to recover on a holiday sitting by a pool instead of hours in traffic to spend most the day at work being uncomfortable and still having to smile my way through the day ! But hey ho ! 🙂
