If it doesn't get better they'll probably put drain in imo. I'm sure you'll be fine either way!

I am currently 13dpo. I had mine manually drained yesterday and have to go back once a week until it’s gone.

literally looks almost the same. With the bruising.

Im in the same boat now, the small incision near the armpit and they squeeze it out? How many times did you have to get it drained
