Every August 28th, Mexico celebrates Grandparents’ Day: a day full of affection, anecdotes, black-and-white photos, wise words, wrinkled hands, and hugs that always feel like home.
But for many couples, this day also comes with an unfinished dream: giving their parents the chance to become grandparents. It’s not just about having a baby, but about multiplying the love they once received, closing one cycle and opening another.
At Ingenes we’ve supported thousands of people in that journey. That’s why this Grandparents’ Day we celebrate not only memories but also hope.
What role do grandparents play in a child’s emotional development?
Grandparents represent the first example of unconditional love beyond parents. They bring tenderness, stories, roots, patience, and protection. Their slow pace and wisdom create a special bond that reinforces the child’s security and sense of belonging.
Close relationships with grandparents are associated with greater emotional resilience, improved self-esteem, and stronger coping strategies. Those comforting hugs, life tales, and daily lessons nurture emotional intelligence and social skills.
Why does wanting to be a mother or father also mean wanting grandparents for your child?
Many people long not only to become a mom or dad but also to see their own parents in the role of grandparents. This desire stems from the care and affection received in childhood and the need to complete the family love circle.
The pursuit of assisted reproduction arises from both a medical necessity and an emotional motivation: to allow your parents to experience the joy of grandchildren and to strengthen intergenerational bonds.
Why is today a good day to begin your journey toward parenthood?
Fertility declines with age and every month counts. Delaying a consultation reduces the chance of pregnancy. If you’ve postponed tests, faced unsuccessful treatments, or are only now considering medical support, taking the first step today can change your life.
This Grandparents’ Day is a symbolic moment to explore your options. A full diagnostic workup—ovarian reserve (AMH in ng/mL), hormonal panel (FSH in IU/L)—provides clarity and empowers you to make informed decisions.
What personalized support does Ingenes offer to those facing fertility challenges?
At Ingenes we understand that reproductive care is as emotional as it is medical. From the first consultation we listen to your story, history, and wishes.
- We review previous tests, age, ovarian reserve (AMH in ng/mL), and treatment history.
- We design individualized diagnostic and therapeutic plans with clear success metrics.
- We offer solutions for low ovarian reserve, previous IVF failures, preexisting conditions, and advanced maternal age.
- IVF MORE®: an exclusive technique for complex cases and multiple failed attempts.
- Emotional support at every stage: because this journey involves hugs, doubts, and dreams.
Because love has no age
Time passes, celebrations come and go, but the desire to share life with those you love remains. This Grandparents’ Day, if your baby hasn’t arrived yet, act now: schedule your first appointment and move toward that dream.
At Ingenes we’re ready to help you write that story combining science and empathy. Because the love your mother gave you can bloom again in her grandchild, and that hug from your father is still waiting to embrace a new life.
Happy Grandparents’ Day.
FAQ
1. What fertility tests should I consider before starting treatment?
Common tests include:
- Hormonal evaluation: AMH (ng/mL), FSH and LH (mIU/mL).
- Ultrasound for antral follicle count.
- Semen analysis: volume (mL), concentration (million/mL), motility (%).
You may also be recommended hysterosalpingography to check tubal patency and genetic studies. Early diagnosis increases IUI or IVF success rates.
2. How does age affect my chances with assisted reproduction?
Female fertility drops significantly after 35 due to decreased ovarian reserve and egg quality. At 40, the natural conception rate falls to 5% per cycle. In ART, IVF success is 40–50% before 35 and 10–15% at 42.
Early evaluation and timely intervention improve outcomes. Techniques like IVF MORE® optimize embryo selection in older patients.
3. Does emotional support improve fertility outcomes?
Yes. Studies show psychological well-being enhances treatment adherence, hormonal balance, and pregnancy rates. Stress-reduction techniques—mindfulness, counseling, support groups—help manage anxiety and enrich the treatment experience.
At Ingenes we offer emotional support at every stage. We believe empathy combined with scientific rigor leads to better clinical results and satisfaction.
4. What lifestyle changes naturally boost fertility?
A balanced diet rich in antioxidants, omega-3s, and folic acid supports egg quality. Moderate exercise, good sleep, and stress management are crucial. Avoid tobacco, excessive alcohol, and environmental toxins.
Supplements like vitamin D (800–2,000 IU/day) and CoQ10 (200 mg/day) may improve ovarian response. Never self-medicate: always consult an assisted reproduction specialist before taking any supplement.
