Held: The IVF Companion Planner (Instant PDF Download)
IVF is not just a medical process. It can mean months of appointments, medications, decisions, waiting, hoping and holding yourself together, often while still showing up for everything else in your life.
Held: The IVF Companion Planner was created to walk alongside you through each stage of that journey, from preparing for treatment and tracking your protocol to transfer day, the two-week wait and beyond.
It is not a medical document. It is a calm, structured space to track, reflect, process, pray and feel supported throughout one of the most demanding seasons of your life.
Inside, you will find six thoughtfully organised sections:
- Foundations: Record your fertility team, clarify your intentions and create space for what this journey means to you.
- Science & Protocol: Track medications, injections, appointments, monitoring scans, egg retrieval, embryo development and transfer day.
- Body & Nourishment: Explore practical nourishment principles, record supplements and use the daily nourishment tracker.
- Mind & Emotions: Check in with your emotional wellbeing, work through fears and difficult thoughts, prepare support for hard days and record your experience during the two-week wait.
- Faith & Hope: Use declarations, visualisation, scripture, prayer and reflective writing to support the spiritual side of your journey.
- Relationships & Support: Identify your support circle, communicate with your partner, prepare responses to family questions and record any traditional or complementary support you use.
You will also find questions to take to your fertility clinic, an IVF glossary, a treatment-cost tracker, monthly reflection pages and a bonus guide covering things many women wish they had known before starting IVF.
Two formats included
- Printable PDF: Print the planner at home and complete it by hand.
- Fillable PDF: Use the interactive fields to complete the planner digitally on a laptop, tablet or compatible PDF reader.
Both formats are included with your purchase, so you can choose whichever works best for you.
A companion, not another demand
There is no perfect way to use Held.
You can complete every page, return only to the sections you need, or move through the planner gradually as your treatment progresses.
The mind-body and faith practices are included to support emotional wellbeing, connection and resilience during treatment. They are designed to work alongside clinical care, not replace it.
Please note
This planner draws on personal experience alongside careful research. It is intended for educational, organisational and emotional-support purposes only.
It does not replace medical advice from your consultant, GP or fertility team. Every person and every treatment cycle is different, and no practice included in this planner can guarantee a particular treatment outcome.
