Two years on after and I still have nightmares about my experience going through IVF. It was so painful that it has almost put me off ever wanting to go through IVF ever again. Even though I had a history of chronic pain due to Endometriosis and had been assured before the procedures that the pain would be managed but nothing was done. No anaesthesiologist, no script to get pain med's after the procedure. During the procedure the doctor pushed hard into my abdomen right where the Endo was growing and it hurt really badly. When I complained about the pain I was told to put up with it. I was in tears by the end of the procedure. He couldn't have cares less. His nurses were also no help recommending I take Panadol which is like telling someone with cancer to take a tic-tac. I ended up in so much pain that I couldn't walk properly for the next three days. There was zero follow up. You are treated like a number only and with no empathy at all. read more
