Preparing for Infertility Treatments

My body is a mess. Before we start our infertility treatments this winter, I have a lot of changes to make. In addition, we are going to have to get financially straight, and my husband will have to stop putting his laptop in his lap. It gets very hot! There are so many things to remember.

Preparing for Infertility Treatments involves a lot more than cutting out the cigarettes and coffee. What I'm referting to is a complete lifestyle change. There are several aspects to preparation that never occurred to me, but now I'm downing prenatal vitamins with my breakfast, running to lose weight, and putting us on a budget. And even with all of the sacrifices, there are no guarantees. This is a scary venture, and it's finally beginning.

My husband and I might be starting to prepare physically for IVF, but the mental preparation scares me. I can't see how we are going to make this happen, and what are we going to do if it doesn't work? Will we join the countless couples who split up after trying and failing at ART? Will we get pregnant our first try, resulting in a rollercoaster of emotion? What if it's triplets, and my life becomes at risk along with the lives of our little ones? How do you get completely ready for infertility treatments? I don't know if it's even possible.
