[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the other poster about being careful who you confide in. So many people want to go super public with their “IVF journey” and I think it can become really overwhelming when you and your spouse are thinking and talking about it nonstop, and then you have friends, family, coworkers who are all in the know and asking questions or for updates. At some point, you are just going to want a break from all of it, I promise! We told just my parents, and then about three friends who stayed tightlipped through the process. I knew I had people I could talk to other than my husband if I wanted or needed to, but I didn’t have people in my daily life constantly asking me for updates.

As for the physical stuff, all I can say is after your first few appointments you just get more used to it. You get used to lots of bloodwork, lots of internal ultrasounds, lots of undesirable side effects and discharge and loads and loads of appointments. It just becomes normal. For better or worse, I kind of felt like all the stuff that we went through trying to get pregnant made me a lot more relaxed once we did get pregnant. As far as the physical stuff goes I wasn’t as fazed as I probably would have been had I not been used to tons invasive procedures. So a little odd silver lining there.

Wishing you lots of luck.[/quote]
