new to posting and new to IVF
Hi Everyone,
My DH and I will be starting IVF in two weeks and, in an effort to not freak myself out too much, I haven't been reading up on too many things. Part of me thinks it's best to just let my nurses guide me every step of the way without learning too much in advance about what's to come (only because I tend to jump/plan too far ahead with things, which can cause me to become very anxious). Then again, I don't want to enter my cycle feeling clueless. I welcome any suggestions about where I can/should turn to on the message boards for support as I begin my first IVF. My husband was diagnosed with azoospermia, so we'll be going through TESE/ICSI.
Thanks in advance.

I just started reading the Infertility board... lots of great advice/helpful info. Thank you!
Can anyone give me advice on how to make my bio info visible (the details about our situation: Dx, etc.)? I tried typing into the "my bio" part of the "my bump" page and clicked submit, but I don't see it.
