Remind me that fatigue is normal

I'm in between the egg retrieval and embryo transfer stages of IVF, and by 5:00 p.m. every day I want to go to bed, or at least take a long nap. Remind me please that these are the hormones at work, and I'm not just being lazy. I just need a reminder. Thank you!

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

    My ENT sent me for more tests last week...one where they had me lie back in a chair, with blacked out goggles on so I couldn't see while they administered water into my ears one at a time ( first warm, then room-tempurature, then cold) while they video taped my eyes and asked me questions to determine how cognizant I was...
