After my last blog post on how to support the infertility warrior in your life, I got an overwhelming amount of messages from people asking about putting together support packages. I have been fortunate to have received 2 support packages during my infertility journey and the thoughtfulness and love that went into them made my day (not to mention I got some really great stuff!). So here are some ideas on what to include in a support package for your infertility warrior.
CLOTHES
Infertility warriors love sharing our story through our clothes! Whether its a shirt we can wear to all of our appointments or even just a pair of socks to keep us warm after our embryo transfer (because a warm uterus is an inviting uterus!), we are always looking to add to our collection. Check out some of my favorite items below!
Of course, we cannot forget about the partners of IVF warriors! They deserve a fun t-shirt too!
ANYTHING PINEAPPLE
The pineapple has become the universal symbol of good luck in the TTC (trying to conceive) community and especially the infertility world. As an infertility warrior, we are drawn to anything and everything pineapple!
BOOKS
Books can provide us with all sorts of things - education, laughs, recipes rich in fertility foods, or even a chance to zen out and color. These are some of my favorite books, cookbooks and coloring books.
ORGANIZATIONAL ITEMS
From keeping track of appointments and medicine to tracking milestones, every infertility warrior could benefit from some of these organizational items.
I hope this helps to give you some ideas on what you can include in the support package for your infertility warrior! We all appreciate the love and support you give us on a daily basis, but sometimes a little surprise in the mail or at our doorstep can really brighten our days.
