Anything else you would have wanted to know before you started this process: If you're over 35 be aggressive. Question your dr's. Get to the best lab you can afford. We traveled out of state and it was not as emotionally difficult out of state as I would've thought. Also, needles in the tummy aren't too painful. You will be a happy person again
