Self care during fertility treatment

Full disclosure, I am thinking of a business idea following on from my personal experience of infertility and miscarriage. I have been a regular poster on the miscarriage board but not here. I did 3 rounds of diui in 2019/2020, all of which failed.

My mental health was at an all time low with the repeated failed rounds and I wondered if the idea of a self-care subscription box for women going through fertility treatment might help other people.

I would love to know honest thoughts, including being told it’s a rubbish idea.

Hi @Rrrob I'm sorry to hear about your loss and your failed rounds. These things are so hard and really do impact our mental health

I really like the idea of a self- care package specifically for those going through fertility treatment. I've found that I've had to give up on lots of my preferred go-to pick me ups during this time as everything is considered a no no at some point in the process - manicures, hot baths, cheeky glasses of wine and refined carbs. If someone could put together something nice that still felt 'safe' during treatment, I'd be into that

I love it! Great idea, it's like a gift from me to me. Also, there is a good idea for us who are trying to become single mums by choice. I know I would love to feel like a had someone thinking of me, thinking about me and sending me self care boxes once in a while. You could even add a "check-in" option, or post cards or something. Amazing idea!

I like your idea too, and I'd definately get a subscription. Have you thought what kind of items you'd include?
