Precautions Before Retrieval • Reduce exercise: those used to vigorous sport should lower intensity and rest more near the retrieval date to avoid follicle rupture. • Limit intercourse: avoid sex before retrieval to prevent abdominal-pressure rises and follicle rupture. • Prevent constipation: to lower abdominal pressure. • Take stimulation shots on time: under medical guidance, to mature follicles. • Keep clean: clean vulva, no intercourse, to prevent infection. • Diet: eat foods supporting egg quality; on retrieval day, fast until after surgery.

Know Before Retrieval • Be on time: follow the trigger (night) shot and retrieval schedule—do not be late. Centers fix the trigger time ~36 hours before retrieval (usually evening); being late may cause premature rupture and no viable eggs. • Bring documents: both spouses need original ID and marriage certificate and must be present (male provides sperm that day); identity is verified repeatedly. • Relax and empty bladder: a full bladder affects retrieval and may require catheterization.

In summary, retrieval is not scary; for painless retrieval, fast and no water before anesthesia. Keep good rest; note the details and prepare ahead. (More info: QR code or 181-0136-5219.)
