More About Stimulation Protocols...and Staying Sane

6:58 AM PDT, May 9, 2008
If you spend any time surfing the websites and bulletin boards concerning infertility, then you will certainly notice that stimulation protocols are discussed by patients all over the web. Some patients complain that their heads are spinning as some of the women posting in cyberspace seem to have physiology PhDs and know all of their estradiol levels and follicle sizes…yadda, yadda, yadda.

So ask questions, get sound advice and pick a doctor with a good reputation, a good laboratory and good communication skills. After all that, just hang in there and try not to get overwhelmed by the day to day minutiae of the cycle.
