Can egg retrieval affect pelvic floor?

I'm 36 and single, not infertile (but couldn't see where else to post this so assumed infertility as I am going through egg freezing).

I wanted some advice. I feel like since I had my egg retrieval my pelvic floor is a bit softer and the entrance to the vagina is more open.

I am paranoid on whether egg retrieval can stretch it down there/make it less tight/affect the pelvic floor?

It doesn't help you don't really know what's going on as you are asleep and it's just made me feel quite stressed as to what happens and for future egg freezing retrievals.

Is this a possibility or am I being paranoid? Has anyone had this when doing egg freezing or IVF please?

See this was one of my hopes when I had my first egg collection back in January. It didn't affect mine in the slightest. I'm still stupidly small and tight down there. I can't get anything bigger than a tampon up there without feeling like I'm being ripped up down there. I've always been this way, it does make things hard, but not impossible.

Haha...that's a good thing!
