one woman's uncensored journey

What is it really like to go through IVF? If you, or someone you love, is faced with in-vitro fertilization this true story is a must read. If you want a baby and haven't been able to conceive in the usual way, it can be one of the saddest things in your life. This book will give you hope. Many want-to-be parents who experience infertility and are unable to conceive turn to IVF to help them have a family. The most important thing to know is that you are not alone. No matter how bad it gets, no matter how many emotionally induced roller coasters you must ride until you become a mom or dad, be proud of who you are – even when you are at your worst. This is not a story for the faint of heart. This is the author's journal – verbatim – raw - uncensored. The only things changed are, as they say, names, to protect the innocent. Prepare yourself for the blow by blow ordeal of one IVF veteran who lived, survived, and overcame the ultimate reality game, in her quest to become a mom.

It takes amazing courage to go through IVF - to want something so much you stick with it until you find your own solution "baby." You can't go through it and not be altered in many ways - some of them wonderful. I hope that hearing this first hand uncensored account through the land of IVF will help you feel just a little less alone when you need it most. We're all here - all the women who came before to this reality game. We are holding your hand in spirit and we all applaud your courage.
