How Can I Manage IVF During the Holidays?
Let’s start with the good news: You can enjoy the season while staying on track with your fertility care.
It just takes a little planning and a lot of kindness toward yourself.
At Aspire Fertility, we work closely with patients to help them navigate holiday schedules, travel, and emotional ups and downs. Whether you're in Austin, Dallas, or San Antonio, our teams are here to help you feel prepared and supported.
🎄 Plan Around Your Cycle (As Much As Possible)
Fertility treatments don’t always follow your ideal calendar, but we’ll help you find flexibility where it matters.
- Let your care team know about travel plans or family events.
- Ask about appointment options that work with your schedule.
- Build in buffer days for rest and recovery.
We’ll do our best to accommodate your needs while keeping your treatment on track.
🧳 Traveling? Here’s Your Fertility Packing List
If you’re heading out of town, a little prep goes a long way.
Here’s what we recommend:
Pack Medications Thoughtfully
- Bring extra doses in case of delays.
- Keep meds in your carry-on with a printed protocol.
- Use a small cooler for temperature-sensitive medications.
✅ Know Our Holiday Hours
- Aspire Fertility posts updated hours on our website and patient portal.
- Ask about emergency contacts or weekend support.
✅ Prep for Injections on the Go
- Find a private space ahead of time (hotel, relative’s house).
- Use apps to track timing.
- Don’t forget alcohol wipes and a sharps container!
What Should I Eat During IVF While Traveling?
Let’s talk fertility nutrition—because comfort food and hormone injections don’t always mix.
Here’s what we recommend:
🥦 Nourish With Intention
- Focus on warm, nutrient-rich meals: soups, roasted veggies, lean proteins.
- Stay hydrated—even when it’s cold.
- Limit sugar and alcohol (we know, we know...).
🍵 Embrace Cozy Wellness
- Herbal teas like ginger and raspberry leaf can be soothing.
- Magnesium-rich foods (like pumpkin seeds) help with stress.
- Add seasonal superfoods: sweet potatoes, cranberries, and leafy greens.
