It is a bit strange you havent met the man who will be getting up close and personal with your lady garden, but I guess every clinic is different. Had my baseline yesterday...so come on, lets do the stressing together! Good luck for the scan, I bet it will go great.

I am over-informed as well (I don't think many mothers know as much as I do about pregnancy and childbirth, frankly) and I understand that this is frustrating for you. Hang in there -- you're a tough cookie and they'll take care of you. Oh, dearest.

And I hear you on the worrying and wanting some control over this process... it's so frustrating to be relegated to the back seat. I'm hoping very hard that all your worries turn out to be unfounded, and that Dr. Reclusive not only knows what he is doing, but that he has the magic touch, too.

I am starting my first cycle of IVF on Saturday. I was one of those who skipped ahead a few grades, passed go, and went right to IVF without any other options. Like being dropped in the deep end without being able to wade a little in the shallow water. I feel you on not understanding everything. I consider myseld pretty smart, I tend to do my reading on any medical or other procedures that are significant in my life. But when it comes to IVF I feel like they skipped me a few grades too many. I am out of my league and don't fully understand what I am about to do. Your blog has been the best decoder of information I have come across. Thank you!

See now, isn't that better? Oh and yep - that's the worst thing about ivf - no control over the outcome. -fellow control freak Don’t worry about the mourners (I know it’s hard) – I’m sure everyone attending your wake loves you enough to forgive your bloated and bruised belly.

Compared to the use of follicular stimulating hormone only, human menopausal gonadotropin is associated with less ovarian hyperstimulation. " Which I think is a pretty good reason for your doc to go with Menopur (which contins LH) vs. just FSH. I hope your ovaries are suitably docile tomorrow!!!
