Pepper,
OOPS! I got confused. I did read about your miracles, and then when I scrolled down, I saw that Gracia_30 was the one wishing for a baby every day. I made a mental note to respond to her, and as I scrolled down even further, I saw that you wrote:

I took that to mean that you had given up because you were 40 yrs old and I responded to your post, instead! (BTW, 40 isnot too old at all! There were many many 40+ women at my RE's office
)
Anyway, back to your information quest. I did a whole lot of research myself on infertility, as well. When it comes to making babies, my approach was very aggressive because I was in a hurry (even though I was 27 when I started the process). When it comes to making my body healthy and function properly, I am no less committed, but I am slower, more deliberate. I no longer feel like I am in a race.
Unfortunately, I really didn't come up with many useful downloadable sites. I did a lot of searches on: Metrodin/Follistim, Ovulation Insemination, Artificial Semination, and PCOS. I got a lot of information from the Parents Place Infertility website, although I didn't happen across it until my second time through inf. treatments. Overall, there wasn't much (useful) info. out there. I do research for a living, and if it was to be found, I guarantee that I would have found it. Aside from a few medical articles, that was it. I was always disappointed, and I was never satisfied with the info. I read. I wanted MORE.
It seems to me that the scars from infertility never heal. It isn't just the medical procedural side that you have to learn about. There is a huge emotional side to this as well that needs to be addressed. Even though I am now blessed with two miracle babies, I still identify with everyone who is still on The Quest.
You said that you were particularly interested in my situation. I will be hapy to share any info you are interested in.
