[quote=Anonymous]Don’t get discouraged or overly excited about the daily ups and downs - they give you a lot of almost real time info and in the end the only thing that matters is the positive pregnancy test (and subsequent baby hopefully). For example you may only have three follicles, or a really beautiful lining or whatever- try to keep your eye on the long game.

Don’t disrupt your normal life - go out with friends, have fun with husband, etc..

Push back on the nurse if you don’t understand something or something doesn’t seem right. You’re your best advocate.

Make early appts for monitoring so you don’t have to wait. If you go at 8 vs 7:30 the time sitting around could be significant.

Don’t have all your hopes stacked on one Ivf. For most people it take a few cycles and that’s ok.

If the first one doesn’t work make sure in your wtf appt with your doctor you have some type of change in strategy. The first one is often just to see how your body reacts to the protocol so they can tweak stuff on the second cycle.

Eat plenty of protein and veggies. Take whatever supplements (if any) they recommend.... and just breathe - you got this![/quote]
