Anything else you would have wanted to know before you started this process: I just wish I could have comprehended how emotionally and physically draining this process was. But then again, I'm not sure anything that anyone would have told me would have prepared me for it. It is true, even though it is very draining, it is so worth it and you forget how hard it was once you hold that bundle of joy in your arms
I also ate pineapple like crazy after the transfer.
