in TTC after 35

Hi, I am new to the board but unfortunatly not new to TTC. DH and I have been trying to conceive for almost 3 years now.  DH is 43 and I am 37 so we started this journey a little later in life than some.We start my first IVF cycle on Tuesday.  Just some background, 2 failed IUI's, polypectomy, and DH varicel repair, OPK strips and monitor and no success....so on to IVF. Would be great to hear about some of your expereinces, side effects of meds, things that you found that worked or soemthing to calm my nerves. Confused
