Summary
Current standard of care is no pretreatment medications before the egg retrieval, and the
investigators would like to evaluate if preoperative Tylenol improves procedure and post
procedure pain control over the current practice (no pre-treatment). Specifically, this study
will compare Tylenol with a placebo when given before retrieval procedures. The investigators
believe that if Tylenol can offer better analgesic relief than no pretreatment medications,
then it may reduce the amount of narcotics needed by patients during and after the procedure
and contribute to better patient satisfaction. . This study will enroll 100 participants all
from University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).
