Hi KPow
Welcome to BB and IVF land. Your first round of IVF will be a bit mysterious if your clinic is anything like mine.
The best way I can describe my first cycle is that it was like walking through a series of connected rooms in a large house I'd never been in before. I knew there were a lot of rooms to go through - I had a rough idea how many there were and that I'd get to the last room eventually. But on my journey the doors between the rooms were all closed so I didn't get to find out what was in the next room til I was invited to go in.
After going through the whole process one 'room' at a time, I was really glad that I didn't have to understand the whole 'floorplan' at once. It was too much to take in all at once and I had a lot of trouble trying to concentrate and remember what I was being told on each step.
I'm now on my second ICSI after a first failed attempt and failed FET. I now know the whole floorplan really well. And I kinda wished I could go back to not knowing.
Just take it one room at a time and be very kind to yourself.
I wish you a very smooth cycle, and hope you get good embies for transfer. Don't forget to drink lots of water if you're stimming. I hope your stay is a short one.
