Things You Wish You Knew When You Started Infertility Treatment

Are there any tricks or things you wish someone would've told you before you started ivf?  I wish someone had told me:

-to ice my injection site for the trigger shot - you won't feel a thing!

-to have viagra on hand in case of stage fright.  your man should do a dry run with it so he knows what to expect and then hold on to the rest in case of emergency

Just keep in mind:

IVF is not 100% accurate.
the doctor will help you with the embryo and the transfer.......still nature has to attach the embryo to your uterus which is the more difficult part.

Its not about the best or worse doctor, the more expensive,  the best office

Once again...at the end is about nature.... and no one can help with the attachment ..only god ( your god)


Also be careful  how many embryos you transfer, you don't want to end with triplex or sixtuplex.. ( well.. only if you can really afforded! and have nurses and a lot patience)

Good luck!

To realize it isn't going to be a cake walk,  and that which RE you pick Does Make a Difference!
That one should expect stumbling blocks and maybe disappointment along the way.
Also, that you have No control over the time line you are going to follow!   So, don't get in a rush, or try to make things go quicker.  It just is what it is.

But... that you will get through each and every step, and things will happen in time.
