Anastasia Sputnik

Anastasia Sputnik is originally from Europe and has been living and working for the last fifteen years in North America. For seven years she underwent more than ten in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments and this book is her story about her journey through IVF.

A desire to disclose misconceptions about in vitro fertilization (IVF) and raise awareness about female fertility and reproduction led Anastasia Sputnik to write “In Vitro: My Journey Through the World of IVF: An Inconvenient Truth about In Vitro Fertilization”.

Sputnik did not have a fairy tale IVF ending, but she believes that making accurate information regarding women’s fertility and the success of ART through IVF available would greatly improve other women’s chances of success.

“In Vitro: My Journey Through the World of IVF,” chronicles Sputnik’s experiences in three parts. In part one, she discloses valuable medical information and facts and shares her experiences having undergone 15 IVF treatments in seven years. In part two, she journals about her life troubles at the time of terminating IVF, disclosing her emotional state when faced with the reality of not being able to have more children and the marital, career and financial stress it caused. In part three, she offers a section of mentoring, advice, recommendations and tools for the reader, including tips on how to save money for IVF.

It is Sputnik’s hope that through her book other women and couples’ will experience success: “I felt, and I still feel, that if children are born thanks to my book, all my battles and suffering will not be in vain.”
