Fact or myth: Conceiving via ART is an extremely stressful and painful journey?

4y ago

The way to go into IVF is to be positive about the outcome and not to treat it like an exam. Then the process will be less stressful. Physically there will be some effects when the ovaries grow as the follicles enlarge and of course there will be a procedure to retrieve the eggs which is done as a day surgical procedure. The procedure takes approximately 30 min and the patient leaves after 2 hours of rest
