Infertility is a beast, one that many people have difficulty understanding or relating to, and that is OKAY! Infertility is a difficult subject and when someone you care about is going through it, it can be difficult to know what to say or what to do. That’s why I created this one stop shop to get the best gifts for infertility warriors, to take the guesswork out of it for you!
Each gift on my list is carefully chosen to be not just a good gift, but to really be thoughtful and caring and help those dealing with infertility to feel less alone. Infertility takes a toll and getting a thoughtful gift can make a tremendous difference in their stress level.
And now, may I present to you…

Her IVF Planner is designed for women going through IVF. It works as a planner, a journal, and an inspirational tool. I highly recommend it for any warrior going through the roller coaster ride of IVF.
In the infertility community, pineapple plays a big role. Pineapple contains the enzyme, bromelain. Bromelain is a known anti-inflammatory and anti-coagulant (blood thinner). Some studies have shown that bromelain can help with implantation by increasing blood flow to the uterus. So, for many women (me included!) pineapple is a symbol of fertility.
*Side note, I ate so much pineapple during my fertility journey that I actually lost my taste for it for a while!
While I recommend this shirt for the quirky warriors out there, it really is for anyone who wears clothes!

I think this is quite possibly the best gift you can give a woman going through the hell that is infertility. It’s unique, practical, thoughtful, and helpful! One of the hardest things about being a friend to a woman going through infertility is the inability to relate. Even after your journey, in whatever path it leads, it can still be hard to know what to say to someone who is currently going through infertility. But getting them a gift like this, speaks volumes. So, I highly recommend this gift!
Okay, so I realize this may seem completely out of my wheelhouse, but it’s not! So, hear me out.
Before I started The Hormonal Mama, I owned a different business: Cara B. Design Studio. Cara B. Design Studio is a design business. What kind of design? That all depends! Primarily I design and make women’s wallets, handbags, and cosmetic bags. In addition, I design wall art.
I have other wall art options available, but this one is my personal favorite. As an infertility warrior, it’s helpful to be reminded that times won’t always feel so dark. This quote really spoke to me, and I think it’s a lovely gift to a friend.
It’s a digital download PDF that can be printed and framed.
So there you go! 6 unique gifts for a loved one going through infertility. When I was in the thick of my infertility journey, I wished every day that the people I love could understand what I was going through. Not because they weren’t supportive, because man, were they! But simply so that they wouldn’t feel so overwhelmed by what to say to me.
The people closest to me knew about it the whole time I went through it and were there for me during ALL of the lows, of which there were many.
The great thing about each of these gifts is that it will show the person you care about that you took the time to try to understand what they are going through. And just knowing that you took the time to do the research, will mean the world to them.
