IVF - An Emotional Companion

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.
