About this title

Review

Beyond the Egg Timer is a much-needed salve for women navigating the complicated landscape of having babies later in life. I've never felt so lonely as I did during the many months I spent trying to conceive in my mid-30s, and this book would have helped me realize I wasn't alone. It's full of real stories of survival from other women, each one different, illustrating how unpredictable this journey can be. But in each story, with the additional guidance of the authors, comes a little wisdom about how to cope and find peace in the process. -Alice Callahan PhD, author of The Science of Mom: A Research-Based Guide to Your Baby's First Year

Beyond the Egg Timer is a compassionate, lyrical, and medically accurate guide for women who would like to conceive a child a bit later in life. I was very moved by the stories here. And most importantly, by the deep understanding and acceptance of fertility issues that are beyond our intellect's ability to control. You will find comfort and essential information here for your
fertility journey."
Christiane Northrup, MD, NYTimes bestselling author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom
