Egg collection with local anestethic

[Leontine2018]

Has anyone done egg collection being awake with local anesthetic at a clinic in London?

I was so so glad to be knocked out. Incredibly sore yesterday (collection day) and today. Paracetamol with cocodamol hardly touches it. Take all the drugs.

Do you mean paracetamol with codeine? You should not take cocodamol with paracetamol. You'll overdose!

I have.... I donated my eggs with local anaesthetic I didn’t feel anything and felt fine, the next day I was back to work.... just slept lots the day of the procedure x

@QuestionableMouse yes sorry with codeine!! The over the counter stuff... I blame the effects of yesterday's sedation...

Givemeabreak01 , which clinic did you go to?

I was worried for you there!

I had mine done via a local at Guys and St Thomas' - 10 yrs ago now! From memory it was uncomfortable but not horrific and I travelled home by tube/train so ok! Best of luck with it all and you too physicskate!

@Givemeabreak01, which clinic did you go to?

Any other clinics that does egg collection in local anesthethic?

@Ilovewillow thank you for the info

I was knocked out for mine and I was a bit sore afterwards but felt like period pain so not pain as such but a bit uncomfortable.

Yes had two cycles with local at care Tunbridge Wells

It was very painful and tbh the cycle I had abroad later I had a general and better

I was under conscious sedation. Head felt spinny, woke up when the nurse called my name, and it had all been done. Pain afterwards but just like a period.
