Expect abdominal cramping and bloating for up to a week after your retrieval. The severity of symptoms can vary greatly between patients. It may take a couple weeks for your ovaries to return to normal size. If bloating and discomfort increases over the 7-10 days after your retrieval, let your nurse coordinator know.
Do All day 4 embryos make it to day 5?
The percentage of ideal embryos transferred on day 4 was comparable to the rate of ideal embryos transferred on day 5 (41.6% versus 44.1%, p = 0.508).

What complications can occur after egg retrieval? Although a few people may experience long-term effects, there is no real evidence that the retrieval process or IVF in particular causes long-term bloating, pain, weight gain, or any changes in menstrual patterns.
Is a day 4 blastocyst good?
Results showed that grade 1a embryos (day 4) had the highest good blastocyst formation rate, significantly differing from grade 2, 3, 4, and grade 5 embryos (standardized residual using Cochran-Armitage trend test with post hoc test: Grade 1a >1.96; Grade 2, 3, 4 between 1.96 and −1.96; Grade 5 < −1.96).

The ideal follicle size for IVF trigger shots is when two to three follicles have reached about 17 to 18 millimeters in diameter. An ideal IVF follicle size for egg retrieval is typically around 15 to 22 millimeters in size, which falls right in line with the ideal size for an IVF trigger shot.
