It’s important to acknowledge that the holidays can be a very challenging time. Here are some quick healthy coping mechanisms to help you get through it, put together by our wonderful support group leader Rina Hennes Sabes.

Shira Collings MS, NCC, LPC joins Aimee Baron, MD to talk about eating disorders, body image, and fertility journeys, and giving yourself grace to engage with the eating restrictions as little or as much as you want.

Breindy and Tamar join Aimee Baron, MD to talk about how to manage Passover during infertility, dealing with holiday stresses and suggestions on what everyone else can do to help when they know someone is struggling.

Dr. Romy Shulman, joins Aimee Baron, MD to talk about how to survive Purim, going to a smaller megilla reading with fewer kids, and giving gifts of food to people who have supported you during your journey, rather than giving to everyone you know.

Breindy and Tamar, join Aimee Baron, MD to talk about how to handle the holidays when you’re struggling, how to deal with pregnant family members that you’re spending the holiday with and what to do about those insensitive friends and family members.

The very nature of infertility is that you don't have the power to change what the future holds. You can eat a healthy diet, manage your stress, do everything the doctor says, and still not have a baby.
