Synopsis "I(V)F Only! Giving Pins and Needles a Whole new Meaning "
Infertility affects roughly 1 in 7 couples yet we still don’t talk about it.The stigma often associated with infertility discourages people from openly sharing their journeys and experiences and I hope to promote openness and honesty by sharing my experience and vulnerabilities.During my infertility journey I started to write, initially as a daily release, writing soon became a catharsis I heavily depended on and so my book was born.In this book I share with you the good, the bad and the ugly of infertility. The physical, financial and emotional impact this journey had on me and those closest to me.I tackle subjects such as:Mental healthEmotional and physical strugglesRelationship dynamics (partner, friends and family)Blended familiesWorkFinancesFertilityIVFPresented in the form of a journal, written real-time, I share my experience of what has been the hardest journey I have ever embarked on.Described as:Hilariously funnyI laughed throughoutA real strength and humour shines through, making this book more akin to a chick lit novel at timesGripping and laugh out loudThis book isn’t just for those experiencing infertility.Endorsed by both Fertility Network UK & IVFBabble.For those unaffected by infertility, I hope this book raises awareness and promotes support for anyone you may meet who is struggling.For my TTC community, I hope you find solace in knowing you are not alone.
