Best of luck - and I am so happy to have found your blog! Really great, can't wait to read more.

Puppetmaster: please make it happen!

I think I may have to use this post as a reference next time someone asks me why I have my own personal Sharps biohazard disposal container. Good luck with this cycle and definitely avoid the horse tranquilizers...I heard they're almost as bad as caffeine. This is truly the best description of the IVF process that I have ever read.

As much as I would like to relax during this process and not worry about anything at all, I think the best I can hope for is to confine my neurosis to one potential disaster at a time. Of course horse tranquilizers might work as well, but I hear they adversely affect egg quality." - I SO can relate to this statement.
