Hello, a good friend of mine is just embarking on an IVF journey and I'd be really grateful for your advice on how best I can support her.
Unfortunately she lives at the other end of the country from me so we don't get to see each other very often. Also, she has been through some tough times over the last few years with health, family and employment issues some of which are ongoing, and I think she's very conscious that she's embarking on the IVF at a time of stress and anxiety caused by these other things, which presumably reduces the likelihood it will work.
I really want to be supportive of her as she's such a lovely person who has had more than her share of bad luck. But other than sending her messages saying 'I'm thinking of you' I really don't know what I can do. Are there any tips you can give me for things that you think would help her? Ways to destress and relax, and anything else you can think of?
Thanks in advance.
