Welcome back to another episode of Fertility Docs Uncensored! Today, we're diving into a topic that many people face during their fertility journey: the often-overlooked time between your egg retrieval and your next period.

You’ve just gone through the egg retrieval process, and now you’re in that strange in-between phase where you’re waiting—waiting to see how your body reacts, waiting to see what your embryos do, waiting for next steps, and of course, waiting for your period. It’s a time full of anticipation, questions, and sometimes uncertainty.

Dr. Carrie Bedient from The Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center and Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center are here to walk you through what really happens during this waiting period. From physical symptoms to emotional ups and downs, we’ll cover what you can expect, how to best prepare, and what this time means for your overall IVF journey.

Whether you’re going through IVF or just curious about the process, this episode will provide a deep dive into an important and often confusing part of the fertility journey. So sit back, relax, and let’s talk about the post-retrieval pause!
