Beginning my IVF journey this week....any tips?

Question

Hi Glow family! I will be beginning my first round of IVF this week. Any tips or suggestions I should keep in mind as I begin my meds? Any helpful suggestions to manage side effects? Thanks in advance!
Background: 
1 blocked FT, husband w/ low sperm motility, good egg count on both ovaries, and the lining of my uterine wall is also good. Blood work and everything else was also good. Thanks!

Answer

So exciting! We’ve done it all and I’m currently in the middle of a frozen embryo transfer cycle. Are you planning to do fresh or frozen? My biggest piece of advice is to take care of your mental health during this time… therapy, yoga, meditation, whatever you need to do! And keep your head up even when things don’t go to plan… because with IVF, there’s always plan B and C! I find the journey to be way more grueling emotionally and mentally than physically. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! Good luck!
