About this item
"This isn't a book about conquering infertility. This is a book about surviving it."I felt like a babyless freak. No matter what we tried, I couldn't get pregnant, even after standing on my head after sex. I was pretty sure I was the only woman on the planet going through infertility, certainly the only one jamming needles into my butt on commercial breaks during my favorite TV shows. Everyone was getting pregnant around me and no one was talking about what happened if you couldn't.After my experience, I wanted to write a book for other infertile women and couples who feel alone, the book I wish I'd had when I was going through it, filled with dark humor and illustrations of quirky ovaries and whimsical sperm. If you're like me, you want blunt, honest conversations about all the crazy stuff you're going through with someone who's been there and understands at least some of what you're dealing with and how you're feeling.
