Sevdara

A journal for women on the IVF road

Every step of the way to you.

Sevdara is the journal that brings order to IVF — medications, test results, follicles, embryos and questions for your doctor — and leaves room for everything the heart carries.

  • Created by a woman who walked this road
  • Every term explained clearly
  • For one or three cycles

The road

The road is long. You don't have to remember it all.

IVF brings hope — and with it a whole new world of words, dates, documents and decisions. Sevdara gathers everything in one place, so you can keep your mind on what matters most.

  • A new vocabulary

    AMH, FSH, trigger, blastocyst, PGT, 4AA. Words you hear for the first time, just when you want to understand everything.

  • Countless appointments

    A new doctor, a new consultation, a new result — and the worry that you won't remember everything important you were told.

  • A medication schedule

    Injections at an exact time, doses that change from day to day, and the fear of missing a single one.

  • Results to decode

    Blood and hormone tests, a semen analysis, FSH, LH, E2. Numbers and values — what do they actually mean for you?

  • Embryo development

    Day 1, day 3, day 5. Counts, quality and grades you want to keep and to understand.

  • Body and emotions

    Mood, energy, sleep and the two-week wait. Every day is different — and you need a place to keep track of it.

How Sevdara was born

The Notebook on the Kitchen Table

There is a particular silence in the waiting rooms of fertility clinics. I learned it first in Bulgaria, and later, in another language, in Turkey. It is the silence of women holding a folder on their knees and a hope they don't dare say out loud. They carry it carefully, the way you carry a glass filled to the brim.

When we began, I thought the hardest part would be the waiting. I was wrong. At first, the hardest part was the language. Nobody had told us that this road has a dictionary of its own. Stimulation protocol. Antagonist. Trigger. AMH, FSH, estradiol. Follicles counted and measured in millimetres. Blastocyst. Grades that looked like school marks — 4AA, 3BB — which we read again and again late at night, as if the letters could tell us who you would become.

Portrait of Jelena Stamenova, author of the Sevdara journal

The author

Jelena Stamenova

Creator of Sevdara

Jelena went through IVF in Bulgaria and in Turkey together with her husband. Along the way she discovered how much information, how many deadlines and how many emotions a woman is asked to carry — and how few things help her keep them in order.

Sevdara was born from her own notes: a notebook that slowly became a system, and then a journal made with care for every woman walking the same road.

“I wanted every woman to hold what I didn't have at the beginning — order, clarity and a little tenderness.”
