The Fantastic:
There are a few really good bits that I didn't expect when I started this.
1. Quality Time: You and your partner will spend much more time together. It may be just because you are trying to work out how to bite the bullet and get those shots done, but hey...who says quality time has to fit into a mold? My hubs and I spent a lot of time just relaxing and talking. Every doctor, every nurse, and every supportive member of your family will suggest you relax. How can you expect your body to get into the swing of things if it's all stressed out? It starts to feel really good to carve out some time in your day to decompress and just "be". It can be better than any drug in helping you get knocked up.
2. Family Support: More times than not, once your family and friends learn that a baby is important enough to you that you guys will subject yourselves to all that's coming, they'll gather round and cheer you on in spades. Yes, your mom will bother you with "Are you pregnant yet?" texts and calls every other day, but hey...at least you know she's on your bandwagon, yeah? Seriously though. Most people will be thrilled to pray for you and wish you the best in your conception journey. Let them in. You'll need someone to complain to when we get to the ugly bits.
