I'm on the same boat, I know someone going through it and I would love to send her something that can help during the process.

Good grief!

Whats your problem with people wanting to show support? I would love it if someone send me a special box of chocolates if I were going through something so emotionally demanding

I will happily accept a box of chocolate for any reason, at any time, or for no reason at all.

100%. They must have missed the earlier post saying we all want gifts.

I need support, will you send me gifts?

I would have just loved an “I’m thinking of you” card in the mail.

And after especially devastating news, I liked getting a massage. My body just felt so broken. It helped so much to have someone be nurturing with it.

My best friend sent me flowers with a sweet note out of the blue while I was going through IVF, and I was very touched. Anything to show you are thinking of her and acknowledging what she's going through will be much appreciated OP!

Jesus, please ignore all of these angry people - you are a very sweet friend to think of this. Some friends sent me some flowers and a card when I was doing IVF and it meant a lot to me, and helped me feel less alone during a difficult and isolating time. I think the sentiment matters far more than the specific gift, anything to let them know you are thinking of them will likely be much appreciated.

For my friend’s first transfer at CCRM (had already had 2 failed cycles at a local clinic), I sent her an (inexpensive) moonstone necklace. The transfer worked, so she wore it for the transfer for her 2nd kid, too. The kids are 7 and 5. Now she wears it when she needs luck.

This is kind of hippy-dippy, but I got moonstone because is supposed to symbolize fertility. Also, we are very close had been talking about IF for years (I had 2 year old IVF twins when she had the first transfer & we knew each other’s IF sagas) - it wasn’t like we were acquaintances.

Yes, it is hippy-dippy.
