To celebrate (celebrate?) Natl IF Week my clinic had a workshop every night this week (with raffle prizes!) about the ins and outs of IF, IUIs, IVF, etc. i went to the acupuncture one and the "behind the scenes" of IVF one. I found both incredibly interesting and informative. And the "behind the scenes IVF" one just reassured me that my clinic is a rockstar and i already love them, even though i'm just starting the process with them (this is my first RE clinic - the other attempts were made at a sperm bank since it was mainly unmedicated IUIs).
And it was nice to be in a room - and talk - to women with IF issues! IF can be so isolating at times.
anyways, i just had a good week and am feeling optimistic about things right now and i wanted to share. you know, to balance out all the spazzy posts i usually put (and will probably put in the future) on here!
hope everyone has a good wknd!

Re: Did your clinic do anything for IF week?
My clinic didn't do anything that I am aware of.... I think what yours did sounds really awesome!! I would have loved to participate in something like that with my RE.
Sounds like you have a found a great clinic!
