For those who have been there, please help

I am coming to you ladies, even men who have been down the assisted fertility road... my first appointment is this Friday the 29th, for my first set of blood work and a scan of my ovaries and uterus. They said after that they would order a sperm analysis for my husband, I was just wondering if anyone had words of encouragement, tips, or anything they could recommend to help? Success stories? Things to expect, what helped them?
