Overview

The IVF Journal is a guided planner that manages the IVF treatment making the entire process easy and accessible. Much like a first pregnancy, IVF is all-consuming for those going through it. Along with rigorous physical and emotional demands, treatment involves a huge and often traumatic loss of control. Patients are frightened and unprepared, resulting in stress levels that research has shown to be on par with those of cancer patients. Understandably patients are desperate for information and involvement, especially from and with sympathetic sources. The IVF Journal will be a comprehensive resource for IVF. The IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) Journal is your personalized guide to surviving and thriving during your In Vitro Fertilization cycle. The author, a former In Vitro Fertilization patient, guides you before, during, and after your cycle so you can stay informed, reduce stress, and have a more positive cycling experience no matter what the outcome. With calendars, charts, logs, and worksheets, The IVF Journal is designed to be customized to your specific situation, and offers tools for every stage of your journey. Whether you are just starting your first IVF cycle or have already undergone multiple cycles, each beautifully designed section has detailed instructions and helpful hints on how to navigate every aspect of cycling. The IVF Journal will help you prepare emotionally, physically, financially, and logistically. In addition, it will help you track responses, results, and progress while organizing and storing all your cycle details in one place. The IVF Journal allows you to- . Easily log, find, and review often changing information, such as contact details, medication information, hormone levels, testing and procedural instructions, and results . Prepare for treatment and reduce stress by developing coping tools and creating a support network . Avoid confusion and keep track of important insurance and financial information .
