A Note from the Author

Dear Reader,

I created the IVF Companion as a personal coping mechanism and decided to publish it so others can experience its benefits. My hope is that it will be a positive tool that will help to reduce stress and empower women to advocate for themselves while preparing for and going through In Vitro and other ART treatments.

Many wonderful people have given their time to help me create the product that you see today but it will always be a work in progress so I welcome your thoughts, ideas and suggestions.

Throughout your IVF journey remember, just attempting a cycle, canceled or completed, negative or positive, is a feat that takes strength, courage and an amazing amount of discipline and time. All that you endure and the massive personal and family effort that goes into an IVF cycle is something to be proud of.

With Hope,
Stephanie Fry
