Wednesday 18th - How they did it

Transvaginal Egg Pick Up
"The procedure is carried out in an operating theatre. The doctor has a small needle (much smaller than it looks in this rather scary diagram) attached to an internal ultrasound probe. The device is inserted into the vagina and when in position, the needle is advanced so that it passes gently through the top wall of the vagina."

Not sure about the name of the clinic but it had the best diagram.)

We went through Eve Health and the surgery was at the Queensland Fertility Group Day Theatre.


I was under a "quick general" the whole time and didn't feel a thing. Fifteen hours later I only have a couple of slight twinges. Nothing worse than minor period twangs and nothing like after the CIN2.
