5.0 out of 5 stars These words are so comforting, Dec 30 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Infertility Survival Guide: Everything You Need to Know to Cope with the Challenges While Maintaining Your Sanity, Dignity, and Relationships (Paperback)

After 3.5 years of trying and a fourth failed IVF treatment, I finally found comfort in the words of Dr. Daniluk. She proved to me that I'm not alone in my anger, jealousy and frustration. Infertility is challenging enough without doubting my emotions, and her words gave me the strength to realize it's okay to feel the way I do.

Her chapters on dealing with friends who have babies, dealing with unwanted advice and dealing with my emotions in general really have given me emotional strength.

Thank you.

I love this book. The emotional turmoil of infertility is not easily put into words, but it is done fabulously in this book. I've been reading it thinking "Yes, that is EXACTLY how I feel" No, it doesn't sugar coat what this roller coaster ride is like and probably isn't the best resource for anyone who has been trying for less than 1 year to get pregnant or anyone who is not ready to accept that there just may be a possibility that treatments will not work. But, for those of us who know that our fertility is a struggle that will not be easily overcome, if at all, it is a great source of information. I highly recommend it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Discouraging, Jan 24 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Infertility Survival Guide: Everything You Need to Know to Cope with the Challenges While Maintaining Your Sanity, Dignity, and Relationships (Paperback)

I found this book to be discouraging and depressing. Infertility is a miserable experience, and reviewing the bad feelings associated with it is counter-productive. We know we're not alone and we know we're on an emotional rollercoaster, now someone offer us something useful. This book reviews all of these feelings in great detail, making one dwell on the helplessness of the situation. The information on handling family and friends was helpful, but overall, I would not recommend this book to anyone dealing with infertility; please find another source of support.
