Just beginning the process...

Hi, everyone.  I have been on this website several times reading wonderful tips, advice, and success stories, but this is the first time I am posting anything.  My DH (I'm catching onto all of these abbreviations...*smile*) and I are just beginning the IVF process (my husband had a vasectomy about 5 years ago).  We have met with the urologist and our RE.  In two days, my husband is scheduled for the sperm aspiration and I will begin my appointments as well.  My husband has a 12 year old daughter from a previous marriage.  We have full physical custody of her and she is very excited and anxious to become a big sister.  I am 37 and have never been PG. While I am very excited about becoming a mom, I am having the typical concerns about child birth, labor, etc.  Any tips or bits of advice for us as we venture through the beginning steps of IVF?

Just wanted to say hi and good luck!  My only advice would be to take it one step at a time.  It is so overwhelming to try to look at the entire process at once -- I tried to take it one day at a time and focus on what I needed to do that day.  Best of luck to you!
