Is egg donation painful?

During the egg retrieval procedure, you will be under anesthesia for 20–30 minutes, so you won’t feel any discomfort. After the procedure, some donors may experience mild cramping or bloating, though not everyone has these symptoms. Since every person’s experience is unique, the effects can vary. If you do feel any pain, rest assured it is mild and manageable.
