Anything else you would have wanted to know before you started the process: I made the mistake of reading a book by an author who was negative about IVF. I almost changed my mind, but decided I needed to experience the process myself. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The injections got easier day by day and the final outcome was the greatest. Don't lose hope and continue with your journey its all worthwhile!!!!! I am patiently waiting for my girls to turn 2 years old to start a second cycle.
