I'm due to start first cycle of IVF next week with Care Fertility Manchester and at my injection teach appointment yesterday the nurse mentioned that for the egg collection I 'might be awake and might feel some discomfort'. At a previous appointment with our consultant he had said I'll be asleep for egg collection and won't feel a thing. Now I feel like he was just trying to 'sell' the ivf to me and so cut out the more negative aspects. I'm really nervous about EC now - I've never been in an operating theatre or had a cannula in my hand or anything before. I just want to be asleep for the whole thing.
Does anybody have any experience being awake for the collection and feeling anything? Does anyone that went with Care Fertility know if they tend to not put people under for it? Thanks x
