My clinic gave some sedation drugs so egg retrieval was a breeze. I was a bit sore for a day or 2 after. But, nothing bad. Also, I've never heard of doing Clomid with IVF so I can't help you there. I did clomid with my IUIs for 5 days but only did FSH with my IVF without the Clomid.

Thanks!
Did you need to take off work or could you go in same day after egg retrieval?
Where is the pain? Is it in your ovaries?
