Here are some suggestions for helping to cope with IF and the treatments that go along with them:

Exercise regularly to relieve stress.
Watch funny movies.
Meet girlfriends for lunch.
Get a manicure and pedicure.
Read some great books.
Take special time with your significant other.
Have a midnight picnic with sparkling cider, cheese, and fresh breads.
Take a long walk on a sun-drenched day.

Of course, once you have a baby, there won't be many opportunities to curl up with a good book or get a manicure since you'll be up to your elbows in poopie diapers.
