Customer Reviews

Thank you for making me laugh!

I have never read a book like this before! Laughin'fertility is a very funny read. It takes a lot of courage to laugh at the ridiculous parts of infertility treatments and author Lisa Safran does a great job in sharing her personal experiences with a refreshingly humorous slant. If you or anyone you know is having fertility problems this book is a must.

Humor is the best stress reliever!!

This book is a very easy read and quiet entertaining for both myself and my husband. The author points out the humorus side of a lot of the things couples struggling with infertility are faced with. It makes it a lot more endurable when you can see the funny in it. I would recommend this book for anyone struggling with infertility! Laughter truely is the best medicine.

Should be called, "How To Laugh when You're NOT Expecting"

After reading so many books and being overwhelmed by the clinical information available to the "baby-making challenged," Laughin'fertility was an absolute joy. It helped me find humor where I was otherwise angry (who DOESN'T have an older relative who thinks asking "so when are you kids gonna have a baby?" is funny), and it has helped me smile when I would've liked to cry. The author shines a spotlight on some of the unknown aspects of certain procedures--procedures that filled me with dread initially--and shows us that, with a deep breath and a smile on your face, you can get through anything. I would suggest giving a copy of this book to friends, relatives, even acquaintances who want to understand just what it is to go through this extraordinary--and difficult--time. You don't have to be baby-making challenged to get a kick out of this book. All you need is a heart and a sense of humor. Laughter is good for your body, and when you want a baby you try to take care of yourself--so why not let yourself relax and enjoy this lighthearted treasure. It's a great way to spend your time as you go through this incredible process.

A must read for the Baby Making Challenged!

How refreshing! I am currently going through IVF treatment and amidst the shots and the raging hormones, this book brings it all into perspective, and leaves you feeling very positive. It finds humour in the darkest corners of infertility, a humor which can only be delivered by a fellow 'Baby Making Challenged' person. It's a very easy and entertaining read....it'll keep you sane and positive!

A Great Spirit Lifter!

Lisa really has the reader feel like you're not alone in your struggle. Even if her situation isn't quite the same as what you are going thru, you relate on so many levels. It means so much to read something so lighthearted to balance out the stress & emotional rollercoaster of having fertility problems. Thankyou! Enough seriousness already--a welcome breath of fresh air and positive vibes!
