Synopsis

IVF: An Emotional Companion is an invaluable, personal support, based on women's first hand experiences, for anyone struggling to conceive.

Sharing the real life stories of 20 women who have worked their way through fertility and conception problems, this book is a lifeline for women and couples everywhere wanting to have a baby: an honest, inspirational and comforting read promising to help get you through the roller coaster that is fertility treatment.

According to official figures, one in six couples have problems conceiving and more women than ever before are now considering in vitro fertilisation. It's not just physically taxing and expensive, but the emotional strain can at times be unbearable. Having to make lots of emotionally-charged decisions at every turn is tough: Should I push my GP to refer me for investigations? Are we ready for IVF? Should we try natural methods first? What shall we do now the treatment has failed?

To help you work through these decisions, IVF: An Emotional Companion explains how others in similar situations have tackled these challenges and come through.

From the Publisher:

An office colleague who read the book wanted to share this:

`The experience of reading it was totally cathartic. One of the problems with working through fertility issues is that it feels so lonely, as if very few people really understand. It also becomes obsessive. SO to be able to spend hours in the company of other couples who have been through these things and have advice to give is immensely valuable. Thank you for recommending it - it's been really helpful.'
