United States161 participantsStarted 2019-09-01

Plain-language summary

In this research study we want to learn more about how effective certain medications are at reducing pain after oocyte (egg) retrieval surgery and how effective they are at reducing the time between the retrieval and discharge from the hospital. We will compare three types of pre-operative medications: intravenous (IV) acetaminophen, oral (PO) acetaminophen, and placebo (no medication), which is the current typical care.
