How to determine the date of egg retrieval. Part 3

On the 14th day of menstruation, I visited the clinic for a blood draw and an ultrasound.

"Yes, it's growing well, so let's schedule the egg retrieval for the day after tomorrow!"

So, the egg retrieval date was decided. I was just thinking that this would probably be my last visit to the hospital, so it was as expected.

I was getting used to coming to the hospital and talking to the doctor, so we made some small talk, and I confirmed the egg retrieval date, as well as the last of my personal concerns.

My stomach was feeling more tense, but there was no severe pain or medical condition. I just felt heavier than usual when I walked, and I didn't want to move as much as possible because it was uncomfortable to feel my body resonate against my uterus.

But I couldn't take time off work, or rather, I wasn't in such a state that I needed to take time off, so I just continued with my normal life.

I am relatively fortunate that I am able to work from home and have flexible hours, so I never felt burdened by the visits to the hospital and the medication I had to take.

In the process, blood sampling and ultrasound tests are mandatory, so these cannot be omitted, and if employers and society were as generous as possible, the burden would be reduced even more.

Now that the egg retrieval date has finally been set, the next part of this review will cover the two days before the egg retrieval. The content isn't extensive, but due to my personal schedule, this was the most challenging part of the process for me personally.
