Tips for Mother’s Day and infertility

Each person will handle Mother’s Day and infertility differently. The team at our Las Vegas fertility center wants you to know that there is no wrong way to approach this day. We have a compiled a list of tips and suggestions to make Mother’s Day easier, but you should do what feels right for you and your partner.

Celebrate you and loved ones. When you face infertility, it’s easy to focus on what you don’t have. Many of us forget about how lucky we are to have an amazing partner, family and friends. Take time to spend time with the people who mean the most to you.
Avoid certain places. If seeing children and families feels like too much on Mother’s Day, you may want to avoid visiting places where they might be celebrating. For example, you may not want to go to family-friendly restaurants on that day.
Pamper yourself. Fertility treatments and the stress of infertility can take a toll. The team at FCLV recommends taking time for yourself on Mother’s Day. Consider getting a massage, seeing a movie, going shopping or doing something else that brings you joy.
Know you aren’t alone. Infertility can feel very isolating, but 1 in 8 couples will face fertility struggles. Infertility is a very common and treatable medical condition. You might feel discouraged now, but it is possible for you to become a parent.
