Learn what physical symptoms to expect before, during, and after an egg retrieval process, according to reproductive endocrinologists.
There are a bunch of valid reasons why you may need or want to pluck a few eggs out of your ovaries: Maybe you’re putting those puppies on ice for use at a later point, or you need a few to pair up with sperm outside of your body as part of the in-vitro fertilization process. Or perhaps you’re donating a fresh dozen. Different things will happen to the eggs in each scenario—but what all three have in common is the egg retrieval process and procedure.
A few days later, once your doctor determines that your follicles have reached their max size, you’ll do one last injection known as the “trigger shot,” which flips your ovulation reflex back on, mimicking your body’s natural surge of LH at this stage. This allows your eggs to take their final steps toward maturation, and “instead of being stuck to the edges like Velcro, they become suspended in the follicle fluid, so we can actually retrieve them,” Dr. Jackson-Bey explains.
