Customer Reviews

Funny, relaxed, supportive

I purchased this book based upon the recommendation of my doctor. It explains every step of IVF in a non-overwhelming and supportive manner. Infertility is emotionally draining and many of the books on the market are so heavy that they compound the negativity that fertility patients already experience. Practical tips, helpful "to do" lists, and questions to ask your RE...this book has everything you will need to start and endure your cycle. Thanks to this book, I was informed, prepared, and at ease during my IVF.

Tells it like it is .........

I found this book to be very informative. It walks you through an entire IVF cycle in terms that are easily understood. IVF can be very complicated and overwhelming. This book breaks down the cycle so that you know what to expect and what questions to ask at each step. I am currently going through IVF, and so far, this book has been extremely accurate in what you can expect. If you want to understand the process and know ahead of time what your cycle will be like both physically and emotionally; then this book is a must read.

Very well written

I thoroughly enjoyed this informative book. I have struggled with infertility for years and found hope and inspiration in this sassy, yet encouraging book. This is not someone else's story. This is not religous based. This is the best well-balanced guide to IVF survival I have found. The tone is written like a converstation with a close girlfriend. I just loved it!

Fantastic Emotional Road Map

I am thrilled to have found this resource. I am going through my first IVF and have felt so overwhelmed. As a result of this book, I feel armed with the knowledge to prepare for what is around each corner and what hurtle lies ahead. The book's patient friendly terminology and sensitive humor was the perfect combination for me! I have learned how to manage life while enduring this cycle and that information is invaluable.

A funny and super informative book!

I just read this book and found it to be a real gem! I am currently going through the process and it was great to be able to know that what I am feeling is totally normal. It was also really funny. I recommend this book to anyone going through this trying process.
