Things That Actually Helped Me

My honest Amazon favourites — curated from lived experience, not sponsorship.

Going through IVF and loss is exhausting — physically, emotionally, and mentally. Over the years I’ve collected a list of things that genuinely made a difference to me at different stages of my journey. I’m sharing them here because I wish someone had shared them with me.

STAGE 1

The Diagnosis & First Steps

When you first get the news and everything feels overwhelming. Books, journals, and comfort items that helped me process and prepare.

STAGE 2

During Treatment

The injections, the waiting, the appointments. Practical things that made the process a little more manageable.

STAGE 3

After Loss

When the unthinkable happens. Gentle things that helped me grieve, rest, and slowly find my footing again.
