Hi mummy to be, im still contemplating if i shld proceed with IVF. Can i have more opinion on IVF process? Is it a painful process in general? Pain rating in a scale of 1-5? Appreciate your help and advices mummy to be thank you
No pain, No gain. But in all honesty, I have low threshold for pain but I don’t find it painful per se. More like un-comfy / crampy after ER usually and will go off after 1 day or so unless you are gotten OHSS. Even so, that can be managed. Otherwise, the jabs and all are all very manageable. I was like you last time, keep putting off IVF coz of all the horror stories and the pain. Even the thought of going to the OT scares me. But trust me, all these are being amplified. I am lucky to have my friend whom went through IVF and she sat me through the whole process and assured me that it’s very ok and I'm glad that I listened to her and overcame my fears. Be positive, keep an open mind and don’t think of the pain coz it’s all in the mind. Think and aim towards your ultimate goal instead of focusing on the pain. Hope that helps and Good Luck!
