What could be causing continued pain in my lower belly after an egg retrieval procedure, even though I have finished taking antibiotics for a urinary tract infection?
After an egg retrieval, your ovaries remain enlarged and tender for a couple of weeks, which is a very common cause of lower belly pain. Mild fluid buildup or even constipation from the procedure can also contribute to this feeling. Since you?ve finished your antibiotics, the urinary tract infection is likely cleared, but your pelvic tissues are still healing from the retrieval. I recommend resting, staying well-hydrated, and reaching out to your fertility clinic. They can easily check on your recovery and ensure everything is healing just as it should.
