Back after an 8 month hiatus (two triggers)

[skidevil87]

Hey guys- I'm back. I was first on this board about a year ago. Severe endo, 2 surgeries, 6 months of lupron, and I finally got a period last week, so now we are ready to move on to IVF. We meet with Fertility Centers of Illinois next month and I am terrified and excited. I'm really back on TCF because I needed more of a sounding board as we start to navigate this uncharted territory around my friends and family. My younger sister found out she was pregnant not to long ago with the first grandchild in the family. I get a nephew and am over the moon happy... but my heart is also broken. Once I finally picked up the pieces, my baby brother (6 years younger than me) called me to tell me that he and his girlfriend just found out they are expecting... he's 24, she's 19... they've been together for 4 months. Again my heart broke because we KNOW that was an oops. Then I had to plaster a smile on my face and go visit the family last weekend. It was difficult, but as we all know, we get through it some how. I got to feel my nephew kick and my sister and I have never been so close.

I do have a few questions... how do we navigate this!? I know we meet with Dr. Rodgers and she explains everything... but how do you deal with the shots when you yourself passes out and your husband can't even be in the room when I get an ultrasound?! I know I will get over the passing out- I'm a typical nurse- afraid of needles.
How do you deal with the swollen belly?! Is there a diet I should begin in order to better prepare my body for this? 
Sorry for the book. I am grateful for each and every one of you.
