    IVF is definitely a terrifying and exciting process! But I found it strangely reassuring because everything is so protocolized (is that even a word?). Everything is out of your control... you just follow directions!

    Good luck!!

    Welcome!!  I've found that IVF is more challenging emotionally than physically.  While it's not exactly fun, you can definitely get through it.  Best of luck to you with your upcoming cycle!
