IVF Must Have’s for the Modern Mama in Waiting

If you’re about to start infertility treatments, you’re probably feeling overwhelmed with the amount of products you’re being told are the “must have’s” of a stress-free cycle. Below are the products that got me through multiple rounds of IVF, and continue to be products I love to use!

• 40 oz Stanley Water Cup: Sorry not sorry, this product is truly not overrated. I’ve lovingly referred to my “Stan” as my “emotional support cup” but either way, you’ll definitely stay hydrated and that’s necessary when going through infertility treatments!
• Shot Organizer: A simple tackle box can make the world of a difference in being organized when you receive your shipments of IVF medication.
• 3X Per Day Pill Organizer: Between the COQ10, DHEA, Vitamin D, Prenatal Vitamin, Baby Aspirin, Calcium, Magnesium and every other supplement in the book, it goes without saying that a pill organizer is an IVF must-have! Especially when needing to take supplements/medication at different times during the day!
• Round Ice Packs: FOR THE LOVE OF MENOPUR! If you know, you know. Icing 5 minutes before IVF injections can make a world of a difference in tolerating injections, some of which may burn/sting more than others.
• Fun Shaped Band-Aids: If you need to purchase some Band-Aids, why not make it fun? I love these pineapple shaped ones, which represent the infertility community!
• Buttery Soft Leggings: I’ve been living in these since the day I started IVF medications. They are soft, durable, and rival Lulu Lemon in both look and feel.
• All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover: Colleen Hoover is not only my favorite author, but, she also wrote an incredible fictional novel about a couple struggling with infertility for many years. This book made me feel seen and understood on a deep level.
• Cozy Barefoot Dreams Socks: Perfect for transfer day, or whenever you want to stay warm and cozy! BFD has been a favorite brand of mine for a long time, and their socks are truly phenomenal!
• Tula Rose Eye Balm Stick: For the days where you won’t feel your best or want to wear makeup, this product is one of my must have’s for those days when you want to look brighter, without makeup!
• Felt Letter Board: For anyone who wants to document their journey, a letter board is basically an IVF right of passage.
• Raspberry Leaf Tea: Commonly used to promote fertility and wellness.
