Your Egg Retrieval is coming. Let’s make it less overwhelming.
Your doctor has explained success rates and your daily injections feel almost normal, but now you’re facing your trigger shots and egg retrieval.
You’re proud to have gotten this far, but you’re still stressed as hell. You’ve read the instructions — but that doesn’t mean you know what to expect.
You deserve to feel calm and ready — because egg retrievals are hard enough already.
What’s In the Checklists?
This printable PDF offers practical, step-by-step advice from one week before to two weeks after an egg retrieval.
From a shopping list to detailed planning tasks, this checklist isn’t just about remembering what to pack or do. It’s about making space for you in the middle of it all!
Laura M
Checklist Creator & Fertility Coach
I’m Laura Mattis: checklists creator and fertility coach at embee health. I’ve been through multiple egg retrieval procedures and know what it’s like to be in your shoes.
My first egg retrieval sent my anxiety through the roof — I had to have my first procedure without anesthesia because my blood pressure was dangerously high.
I was determined to sleep through my second retrieval. I created these checklists to organize the details — from trigger timing to choosing a comfortable, easy procedure day outfit.
My next retrieval went so much better; I woke up on the way to recovery. The nurses were so proud of me for being relaxed, go-with-the-flow, and stress free.
I’m still in treatment, working toward a child of my own, and I hope these checklists help you stay organized, feel grounded, and recover with ease.
