Step 1: Poke around your network for fertility clinic recommendations. Your doctor will be getting very well acquainted with your lady bits. You will be stressed & heavily medicated. Do yourself a favor and find a nice clinic with nice people. (Feel free to DM me for recs in LA.)

You *do* have to mix/prepare some of the medications (typically just measuring saline and adding it to powder). This can be both fun (like a chemistry experiment!) and mildly horrifying (I shouldn't be trusted with this!)

Psychologically, it's a ride. I usually have some loopy dumb-dumb days toward the beginning. I'm a bit more irritable/tired than usual until I get my next period. I am ALL ABOUT BABIES for the last week, which is incredibly annoying to everyone around me who isn't a baby. YMMV.

A few clinics are starting to offer split cycles — basically, you pay nothing and get to keep some of your eggs in return for donating some (most?) of them.
@springfertility in SF mentions a program like this on their website:https://springfertility.com/egg-freezing/Show this thread
