The IVF procedure is not painful. It is well tolerated by most of the women. Only painful procedure the egg retrieval is done under anaesthesia. Some women might have a little abdominal discomfort due to bloating and constipation. (? The hormonal injections after the egg retrieval can be a little bothering)
