Starting over is kind of exciting. This time we know exactly what to expect and how all the medicines will affect me. We know how often we will have to go in to the clinic and how quickly it will be egg retrieval time. We'll get a fresh set of eggs and those daily phone calls updating us on our growing embryos.
