Your Essential IVF Must Haves The Ten Things You Need for Recovery and Comfort

When you're doing IVF, it's important to be prepared. I want you to have the best outcome possible, and for me that includes making sure you have everything you need on hand to support your physical, mental, and emotional health as you go through the process.

Today on the podcast, I'm sharing my top 10 things you need when you're embarking on IVF:
1. Get your electrolyte rich drinks ahead of time
2. Stock up on a protein powder+shake that you love
3. Consider scheduling a food delivery service
4. Prepare for a poop emergency: stool softeners are your friend
5. Purchase panty liners because you can spot and that's considered normal after an egg retrieval and waterproof underwear helps with the discharge too
6. Egg Whisperer fertility pants
7. Grab that Tylenol or Advil ahead of time and a heating pad too for aches and pains
8. Take precautions against Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS)
9. Build your fertility TEAM
10. Get your TUSHY checked

I know that's a lot of info to pack into a single post here - so you can get all sorts of details and additional information over at the website, where you can also listen to the whole episode.

What I want most for you is to feel comfortable, and prepared as you take the next step on your fertility journey, and so that is why I'm sharing the essential must-haves that my patients have found to be helpful in making their experience and recovery more comfortable.
