just check in with her every few days. If she is doing injections (I'm not up to date on protocols) - maybe a cute icepack.

A lunch or supper? I couldn't cook those weeks. I hovered between nauseous and starving. My poor husband in addition to watching me go crazy, had no food to eat....

That's so thoughtful!
Either just a nice lunch/supper
Spa gift card or any self care item

Not everyone would appreciate being checked in every few days, that could feel intrusive

If you are a close enough friend to know about the IVF - you are close enough to check-in.
(alternatively - if you are just hearing through the grapevine /gossip about the IVF, do nothing.)

Not necessarily. I told my coworkers and those directly impacted some details so they would understand me taking off work and cover my shifts but I wasn’t at all comfortable with being asked questions .

A good travel coffee mug for early morning monitoring appointments.
A heating pad.
You’re a good friend!

They also would never think to send you to the spa. IE not your friends.
(I’ve gone through three rounds)

Check in meaning - how are you doing/ what’s up - not- hey how are your medical procedures going or what are the docs saying.
