Anyone who is planning on doing IVF this book is so helpful to prepare you for what you and your partners lives will look like during that time. I will definitely be going back and referencing many things in this book!

This book helped so much with my anxiety of having questions that needed answering and not enough time to get all of them at doctor’s appointments.

Super informative! Made the science of IVF very approachable for all audiences. A great tool to have before starting an IVF journey. Can also be used in any part of the process. After reading, IVF feels less daunting, and hearing the success statistics makes me hopeful for my families future journey.

This book is one that I am so grateful for - this book is amazing and has been an absolute wealth of knowledge as I go through IVF. From answering questions, to giving me an idea about what to expect I truly appreciate the insight in this book. The clinical knowledge is laid out in such a way that it makes perfect sense and I love that it's not overly morose and dire (as IVF can feel!) - facts are just facts, but here's what can be done. Breaking it down into sections - so I only read what was needed at the time, really helped with my journey and I know that I will be coming back to this book often depending on where we are at in our journey.

Beyond grateful for Little Brown Spark sending me this copy in exchange for my honest review.

I was very excited to read this book after being an avid listener to the podcast. It came at the perfect time as I’m about to head into my first embryo transfer. As a girlie who likes to be prepared this book is what I needed. Thank you!

Freshly published, up to-date, and a breeze to read. I feel like having read it once, I will be picking this back up many times to review different sections over the next few months.
