Hello all BB'ers!!

Firstly let me just say I've been searching around for a decent forum to share my thoughts and experiences and listen to other women's, and I have to say I love the look and the "feel" of BB!!

I am 28 years old and my DH is 25 and we have finally made the decision to TTC. Me and DH have been together almost 5 years, married for 15 months now. We have finally decided to take the plunge and start our own family, but alas due to medical problems with myself we have to undergo IVF. We went and saw the fertility specialist on monday and after a couple of blood tests, we are going back on monday to sign the consent forms. Due to a few other reasons, we wil not be starting the actual treatment til about mid Jan 2010. I have accepted this fact, as also it gives us a couple of extra months to save and maybe get prepared. BUT the real reason for this post (after all my rambling, lol) is I just feel, well lost? Like I dont know if there should be books I should be reading? Things I should be buying? I dont have a close family network - well my DH side is great, but because its such an emotional journey I dont want to tell everyone we are starting IVF treatment in case it doesnt work you know?!
So I was just wondering, has anyone felt like this or have any suggestions on what I should do in the meantime or what I can do to start preparing?
Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
