Is IVF Painful?

Inthe course of IVF treatment,one expects to experience pain at several stages. But the fact is there isminimal or no pain in a well-planned and properly executed IVF cycle.

 

•The first stage is when women receive small-bore injections for the developmentof eggs. Almost everyone is scared of the first injection as they are unawareof the amount of pain. But after the initial anxiety, they get more comfortableand experience minimal or no pain.

•The second stage is when the egg starts to develop and ovaries begin toenlarge. In some rare cases, this might cause some abdominal pain and bloatingfeeling. If this is the case, it means that a large number of eggs have startedto grow and that the ovaries are over stimulated. The doctors can tailor thetreatment protocol to limit the number of eggs that develop and personalize thetreatment. Many women don’t experience any pain during stimulation. They mayexperience mild discomfort but it does not affect their daily life. They cancomfortably continue to go to work or manage their homes.

•The third stage is the procedure of egg retrieval. Patients need to be madeaware that the eggs are removed by piercing the ovaries through the vaginausing a long thin needle. Many women assume that this procedure is painful,whereas the reality is there is no pain at all as the treatment is done underanaesthesia. Even after the anaesthesia effect wears off, the recovery is veryquick and not painful at all.

•The next stage comes after 3-5 days after egg retrieval if it is a freshtransfer cycle. In most cases now, a frozen embryotransfer is preferred. In such a case, the FET comes after 1-2 monthsafter the egg retrieval step. The developed embryoistransferred back into the uterus under the guidance of ultrasound. Thisprocedure is almost painless with just a little bit of discomfort during theinsertion of vaginal speculum, like what you may have felt during Pap smear.
