Anything else you would have wanted to know before you started this process!
It is a very scary roller coaster. I honestly thought that once I got a BFP I would be ecstatic and I have been a complete basket case!!! I have hit little milestones along the way and have freaked out before each one - before 1st beta, before 2nd to see if it doubled, before 1st ultrasound, before 2nd ultrasound after bleeding episode, before trying to hear heartbeats on doppler, before the anatomy scan, wondering if I will ever feel them move, it just continues 
. I also worried alot about finances before doing IVF and now I worry even more because we have spent the money and actually are having babies with no money! It is truly a blessing to have all these concerns and fears because we want a baby (babies) so bad but I don't think after suffering through infertility and treatments that a pregnancy is ever "normal."
