Please help with this search. I've just started meds for my 2nd IVF try. I'm looking for a kit that covers things pertaining to IVF like:
A clock that you can move the hands around
Med bottles, jars, vials, syringes
Journalling strips or word art for : mood swings, feelings, hopes, dreams, etc
Appointments card, scans, blood tests, meds taken/time taken, something to record phone calls (time and date).
Both positive and negative pregnancy results.
Some sort of daily routine sheet (you tend to get wrapped up in the time because of the diff meds needed to be taken at certain times)
There's a few other things that have slipped my mind but will add as I regain my memory.
If anyone can help out with this, that'll be cool.... even if I need to get a few kits and use bits out of each one.
Thanks for reading and for your help:)

Not too sure about colours.... I was thinking of colours that match moods like how different colours match the different personalities.... with abit of grunge in them... sort of soft and grunge together KWIM?
I have photos of everything from the different meds, injections, bruising caused by injections, blood test request forms and my 1st embryo (just to name a few:)).
I'm after a kit that's not too harsh but not too soft... lol dont ask for much do I :) Not doing a very good job at explaining what I'm after either:(

question marks. there should be question marks in a kit like that. maybe ones that could kind of act like brackets?
and yeah, i imagine grunge too because the outcome isn't clear, and it's the struggling to remain hopeful even when you don't know if it's going out how you want.
colors to me would be heathered but hopeful, if you can get your brain around that.

Cool.... thanks for that.... I think that because I'm DESPERATELY ISO of this type of kit that I'm getting tongue twisted when it comes to explaining what I'm after:)

well, i'm 10 years past my 4 years of infertility, so i've had more time to let it all filter through me. infertility leaves its marks on a person.

does this convey the feeling?

It's not a kit, just something I pulled together. I tried to show the pain, heart ache, turmoil, clinical feeling, hope, joy, depression ...

Wow that's awesome.... it potrays one of the many feelings.... personally I went into this Parying for the best while preparing for the worst... But thats a gorgeous LO, the paper is perfect for the title (love the title).
Thanks too for all of your PMs full of well wishes. Making a 6hr round trip today (now) so I'll check this thread and reply to PMs when I get back. Thank you :)

Good luck w/ your IVF!
(I am actually pregnant now after our cycle(ivf w/ icsi) :))
I never used a IVF kit for all the LO's I did, but just used everyday kits that I liked.
I did however use this in one LO

Thanks for sharing this:) Love the journaling. All of my journaling from my 1st round of IVF/w icsi is still in my notebook that I wrote in every day... so this is awesome inspiration!!!
I actually saw the kit you used while browsing online lastnight and thought that it would be perfect for a few medication type LOs.... and you've done an awesome job with it:)
Thanks again.... off to have a look at the rest of your IVF LOs:)

Ohh no, I purchased this yesterday and it wouldn't download properly!!! It would only dl 12% - 15% then stop... then maxed out of dl attempts:( I emailed the Lilypad about it yesterday but haven't heard anything back from them.
Ohh noo..... I'm gutted:(
Good luck w/ your IVF!
