Dr. Natalie Crawford explains everything you need to know to prepare for your egg retrieval. She goes over what to expect during and after the procedure, questions you should ask your provider, potential complications, and more. Every procedure has potential risks. Although the complications that can happen during or after an egg retrieval are very rare, it’s important to know the warning signs.
