Does anyone else have a hard time with understanding the treatment they are going through? I feel like an idiot sometimes when I have to ask, "and that drug is going to do what?". I have so much paper work and no idea what to do with it. Sometimes my husband asks me questions and I don't have a clue as to what the answer is.

Maybe overwhelmed is the best way to describe it. It seems overwhelming the plethora of information I have received.

At the beginning of march last year, when I first started fertility treatments, I was in that spot. Overwhelmed and confused. Since then, I've done SO much research, and I feel like it's the nurses who are without a clue. :) I've found myself able to explain what we're doing to our closest friends and family and they aren't able to say anymore "you don't know what you're doing." Rather, they have to say "Oh... I guess I was wrong." Feels good. Keep reading, keep asking questions, keep learning. HOpefully, you find yourself the proud mommy of a miracle before you learn all you want, but if not, you won't take too long to figure it out.

Thanks for your remarks. It just seems so overwhelming at first.

I, too have learned a lot along this journey. I remember my first dr appt. I was totally confused. "Do the OPK at 300, second void"? I had no idea what he was talking about! (Translation: Take an ovulation predictor test at 3:00 in the morning, but it has to be second urination for the morning [I lived a few hours away, so we had to leave at 4 am to get to the lab during their hours]) It will get better. It helps also if you have a dr who is good at explaining things. My 1st dr wasn't good at it at all, but my current dr is great!
