Key components of a fertility survival kit, including emotional support, education, and self-care practices.

• One key tool is the sense of community. The online infertility community, though unfortunate to be a part of, offers a thriving and supportive network. Social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok, as well as online communities like Peanut and IVF Babble, connect individuals globally who share similar experiences. Finding others who understand the struggles of infertility and trying to conceive provides a sense of comfort and reassurance.
• Another essential tool for the fertility journey is stress management. Stress can be overwhelming during this time, and finding effective coping mechanisms is crucial. Some recommendations include using an IVF positivity planner, engaging in journaling, and reading materials that provide inspiration and guidance.

By incorporating these tools, individuals going through a fertility journey can find solace, strength, and practical strategies to navigate the challenges they face.
