Only GOOD news wanted (JK).
I've had this procedure in years past on six different occasions. As mentioned, there was blood in the semen for a short period of time. Other than that, I didn't experience any side effects, and there wasn't any recovery time needed.
During the procedure you'll feel a pinch and slight discomfort with each sample taken. I wouldn't classify it as pain, just discomfort. Good Luck and I hope your results are negative.
