Anyone else struggling with Mothers Day? I am having a really hard time this year, especially with having my second failed IVF this week. My mother has been such a great support but don't want to celebrate with my brothers and their kids on Sunday, and now I feel selfish. I am still mourning and just can't do it. I really thought this year would be a happy Mother's Day for me!

You are not alone! Most who struggle with infertility hate Mother's Day. It's so hard. Allow yourself to mourn and know it's ok

Hi. I am struggling this weekend too. It's so hard. My plan is to absolutely avoid Facebook, restaurants, etc. and just let myself feel terrible. Sometimes a weekend of pajamas, movies, and a good cry are needed.

I have cried my eyes out almost everyday this week bc of insensitive ppl who continuously ask if I am a mother and don't worry you have time. Etc. I have failed fertility treatments and ran out of the funds to continue. I just feel as I've lost all hope and have no purpose. I'm not sure where to go in my life from here.

Hi, stay positive and your dreams come true. A friend of mine, who had 2 ivf failed, got finally pregnant also via ivf pgs ngs.

It really does sting today knowing that when I started this journey I thought I would be celebrating myself today. I would tell us all to stay strong, but I haven't felt strong in months so it's okay if you can't today!

It was the hardest Mother's Day of my life. Very few people in my family know our struggle. My sister is one who knows and I regret telling her each and every day. But I knew she was pregnant again just from seeing her get bigger and some other signs, but she hadn't announced it yet. Wel I had this feeling she would announce it Mother's Day so I sent her a little letter and article about how hard Mother's Day is for those struggling with infertility. Well guess what, Saturday we met at my grandmas and she announced she was pregnant. And then we had a big argument and she asked how I felt and why I was upset. I told her, and she preoceeds to do it again Sunday at my other grandmas. It was the worst. I sent her a txt Sunday night telling her that I was upset with the way she announced it but was happy for her. Her response was very selfish and she just dismissed me. Needless to say, Mother's Day sucked and I will not be relying on my sister for support any longer.
