Synopsis

The infertility struggles that people experience are real and often not spoken about.

Everyone's journey through infertility is unique and personal, yet the feelings of isolation, loneliness, grief, and silent suffering are shared among millions of men and women around the world in their quest to have a healthy baby and start a family of their very own.

I was inspired to write this book, which provides deep personal insights into my own journey in the hope that it helps give infertility a voice and provides support to other people experiencing their own challenging infertility journey, particularly via in vitro fertilisation.

About this title

About the Author

At forty I had my first child, named Alice, born via IVF after completing nine cycles over more than three years with my husband. When I was forty-two I was successful on my tenth, and final, IVF cycle with our second child, Ruby.I always believed that my husband and I would eventually achieve our dream of having our own family together. I am so grateful to science and the medical profession for helping us achieve this and for my resilience and a powerful mind that helped me stay focused to navigate this emotional and physical IVF journey.I have also written a children's book: Sticky Pineapple and The Little Precious Gems: How I Came Into This World. This is a children's book explaining, in an engaging, creative and imaginary way, how two little girls came into the world through IVF. The book was inspired by a conversation between my five-year-old daughter and me at bedtime, when the former asked, "Mummy, how did I come into this world?"
