Anything else you would have wanted to know before you started this process! I wish I had pushed harder about my painful menstrual cramps because we could have diagnosed the endo much sooner. The shots aren't as bad as they seem. The emotional aspects are harder than you can imagine. A high FSH doesn't mean you can't get pregnant. Good luck to everyone!
