MY husband and I have strugged with IF for going on 3 years I just recently had an LAP done and was told IVF was our only option. The good thing is insurance is covering it at 90% any one else has gone through IVF what should we expect from the process any words of wisdom. Doctor things with IVF we have a 70% chance it will work given our ages I am 24 DH is 28 and having no other medical issues. We are so exciting yet nervous as to what we are getting into.

    Tonight is my last BCP night :) Stims start on Monday.

    I started keeping a personal journal/log of the experience each night before I go to bed. Side effects, mood swings, any random thoughts about the process or appointments. I figure if this IVF works, I'll have started journaling my pregnancy and that will be an awesome thing to have- if it doesn't I'll remember all the side effects and know what to expect when we try again.

    I'm trying to relax, enjoy, and keep a positive frame of mind. I took the last three weeks as an opportunity to eat a ton of sushi, drink half a bottle of the best wine I've ever had, and have fun with DH in the bedroom without thinking about babies because, hell I'm on BCP! I'm painting a room of my house with fume-y paint that I wouldn't dare use after I was pregnant and enjoying my last few diet sodas. :)
