ADVANCE PRAISE

“This is Infertility is a must read for anyone experiencing infertility, a world-wide issue affecting millions of people. An honest, compelling, and inspiring memoir, it follows the six-year journey of Kirsten and her husband Ryan as they navigate against tremendous odds to be parents. Moreover, this memoir offers sound advice on how to travel the infertility journey and avoid the pitfalls.

This is Infertility combines Kirsten and Ryan’s personal experiences with factual insights and research into fertility treatment and surrogacy and what people can expect. Ultimately, it’s a story of optimism, hope and perseverance. Kirsten doesn’t sugar coat the struggles involved but she hopes what she learned can inspire and help others.

Despite endless adversity and heartbreak spanning three countries (Australia, the United States and Canada), Kirsten and Ryan welcomed their long-awaited son Spencer in 2019.

“Kirsten’s journey is a remarkable book… It educates and entertains. It describes the natural reproductive process, the reasons why it failed, and the steps needed to overcome it. It entertains the reader with personal experiences that show the fear, sadness, frustration people go through on their journey to parenthood. I could not put it down until I had read every page.”
