First IVF cycle starts today

Starting our first IVF cycle today! Excited and hopeful, but also trying to be realistic and cautious. It's either going to be awesome or really suck to know yes or no at the end of the year. I start menopur and follistim tonight. Any tips? It seems like there are soo many supplies and things to keep track of.
Trying for #2 with IVF after damage done in a D&C left me with one functioning (but too scarred) ovary and tube to get pregnant safely without assistance. It's a really, really long story, but that is the gist of it.  We have one daughter (whose c-section birth started this roller coaster) born in 2012 after a miscarriage in 2011. 
Failed 1st attempt at IVF (Fresh ET day 3, 1 frozen embryo saved) in December 2013.  
Failed 2nd attempt at IVF (Fresh ET day 5, 2 frozen embryos saved) in February 2014.

    Good luck!!! I found it easier to give myself shots than have MH do it. It seems so daunting, but the end will justify the means.

    Good Luck! Just go slow with the menopur. it can burn if you go too fast.

    Thanks for the luck and the tips ladies.  So far, not too bad.
