  2. Lower the risks of health problems especially when a woman needs some medical treatments that can be harmful to her fertility and can damage her eggs.

  1. Complications of egg stimulation
  2. Nausea after egg retrieval: We recommend resting at the clinic or hospital about 1-2 hours to monitor the symptoms before going home.
  3. Abdominal pain: A slight pain can be cured by painkillers. However, in case of abdominal discomfort or pelvic pain, it is recommended to see the doctor immediately.
  4. Injuries from the process of needle aspiration to extract the eggs out of ovary, e.g., light vaginal bleeding, injury to intestine or bladder.
  5. Effects of hormone medicines: flatulence, nausea, headache, abdominal pain. These symptoms need to be monitored. In case of serious abnormalities, kindly visit the doctor urgently.
