Anything else you would have wanted to know before you started this process! 1. It's OK to demand info from your RE/clinic. They are there to help you get pregnant, and they should help you feel as comfortable as possible while in their care. Speak up if you feel uneasy. 2. Get a hobby that has nothing to do with infertility so you have an escape once in a while. Or try and hang out with friends more often. IF gets really lonely and isolated at times. 3. That this place existed! This website has been so wonderful in educating me about all things IF, and you ladies are truly amazing and inspirational. I'm so glad I found you! Good luck to you all!
