Egg retrieval

Hi all! I’m having my first egg retrieval at the end of this week. I was just wondering if anyone could give advice. Did you take off from work? If so, how many days? Any suggestions for before or after? Trying to prepare myself 😬

Hi! I am also a teacher so I know exactly how you feel! I had my egg retrieval on a Sunday and luckily we had the Monday off because of a holiday!! But I was fine and ready to go back to work on Tuesday. It was definitely nice in my opinion to at least have the day of off. Like if your egg retrieval in the morning I wouldn’t go into work that day. Just go home after and relax, because you will be tired. I was bloated for a few days. Let me know if you have any other questions 😊 and good luck, you got this!! 💕

I'm due mine in a week or so and I was advised to take a week off!
To be honest from what I've heard it's less about how you feel and more about what your body needs...having said that I know not all headteachers are as understanding as mine so you might be in more of a rush to get back to work but I'd always say this is way more important than a job. Good luck xx

I had mine at the end of last year. It was on a Monday... I’m a teacher and the day after was a teacher work day so I didn’t have to do too much. I was fine the first two days but by Wednesday I thought I was dying because I was bleeding and hurting. My principal found me a sub and sent me home. I slept and rested the whole day and night and I felt better. I’m sure everyone is different but if you could take one extra day off to rest it may be beneficial. I thought I was better off than I was and I think I did too much the next day which sparked the pain and bleeding. Sending prayers and baby dust!!!!

I had mine last year. My experience was pretty rough and I was not setup properly by my nurse staff. I had ALOT of follicles and was close to being overstimulated. Therefore my healing was harder. It took me a week to fully recover and another week for the bloating to go down. If you have normal level of follicles this might not be the case for you and you would recover under more normal circumstances.

Pregnancy test

I took this pregnancy test and then a few days later I looked at it again and noticed a very faint line but then I took 3 more on different days and they all came out negative. What’s going on? I’m tripping out because I see it but my husband says he doesn’t.

Positive test?

Do yall see it? There’s the original and another one that I added sharpness to and stuff to see the faint liner more better. I took more and they came out negative. So I’m so confused. Also that line didn’t appear immediately I noticed it like the next day.

When did you get a strong positive?

Tested last Friday got a positive faint did a digital said 1-2 weeks which would be about right 4 weeks at the time. Did another this morning still faint…. Slightly worried about it being chemical if it isn’t getting darker. Should I be using all the same type tests?

Any ideas what’s happening with my temp?

Thought I had ovulated but now I’m not so sure, I didn’t record my temp on a couple of days because I’ve been unwell with a fever so it was a lot higher than it should of been
