Laura, Checklist Creator & Fertility Coach
I’m Laura Mattis: checklists creator, IVF patient in active treatment and fertility coach at embee health. After years of trying to conceive and enduring losses, I was thrown into IVF treatment—from diagnostic tests to multiple egg retrievals.
I’m still in treatment, working toward a child of my own, and I know what it feels like to lose yourself during treatment.
My first egg retrieval sent my anxiety through the roof, so I created these checklists to organize the tiny details that overwhelmed me—and make recovery smoother. My next retrieval went so much better; I felt calmer and more in control.
I hope these checklists help you stay organized, feel grounded, and recover with ease.
I’d love to meet you and hear about your journey—book a free consult to get personalized support.
