Book Description

Written by three girlfriends who have personally survived the rigors of trying to conceive, the book shares candid humor and practical advice with other women who find their lives ruled by their ovulation date and their efforts to conceive.

This is not your dry fertility book or intimidating medical tome - this book contains the kind of hold-nothing-back banter only your best girlfriends will tell you about what you need to know when trying to start a family. These authors should know: When they were going through their struggles to conceive, this is the book they sought to find but couldn't.

Infertility is one issue most women don't share with coworkers or extended friends or family: It's an invisible "club" to which nine million women belong (21 million people have "fertility issues"). Once a woman enters that club, it affects her self-esteem, her marriage, sex life, personal life and professional life, and puts her under psychological, physical and oftentimes financial stress. The emotions a woman experiences can be overwhelming, including guilt, jealousy, inadequacy, anger and depression. Most women feel like no one understands what they're going through and this isolation only compounds the problem. This book will offer women much-needed encouragement, support and advice on everything from making the decision to start a family, to the battery of tests they will face and the ins and outs of high-tech fertility treatments.

Like only best girlfriends can, this book will guide women through their journey to motherhood in a helpful, encouraging way.
