Book Description

Jan 18 2010
Surviving the challenges of infertility

Often enduring years of heartache, couples with infertility number over 7.3 million. Enduring the daunting difficulties of treatment is something few women are prepared for. Based on the personal stories of 200 women determined to overcome infertility, this surprisingly upbeat survivors' guide gives the kind of hard-won wisdom essential to making it through the process. Not only does the book detail coping strategies, it also presents tips for strengthening stressed relationships and addresses the unique needs of single women and lesbians.

An essential guide for women and couples, friends and family, and health care providers and therapists, this book offers the solace and strength needed to prevail even after years of struggle.

  • Written by a therapist, consultant, and public speaker dedicated to the study of infertility and its emotional impact
  • Other titles by Shapiro: When Part of the Self Is Lost and Infertility and Pregnancy Loss

For any woman or couple who feel as if they're facing infertility alone, When You're Not Expecting is a must-have book.

Product Description

From the Back Cover

A sisterhood of support for coping with infertility

"This compelling and insightful book will be much appreciated by women and men experiencing infertility. When You're Not Expecting is an important antidote to the top-down medical protocols that many have experienced."
--Ramona Faith Oswald, Ph.D., 2010 Program Chair of the National Council on Family Relations

Too many women face the unexpected diagnosis of infertility without the support they need to survive and thrive during months (or years) of treatment options, difficult decisions, and emotional turmoil. For more than twenty years, Constance H. Shapiro-celebrated therapist, author, and professor-has dedicated her practice to helping women and couples deal with infertility. In When You're Not Expecting, she combines her wisdom with the personal stories, creative solutions, and revelations of over 200 women and couples diagnosed with infertility.

This book is for you if

  • Your inability to get pregnant is causing you confusion and anxiety.
  • You can't figure out who to tell about your infertility (or how much to confide).
  • You are not getting the support you need.
  • Your sex life has lost its zing now that you have calendars and ovulation kits on your bedside table.
  • You are single or in a lesbian relationship and hoping to conceive.
  • You have experienced pregnancy loss.
  • More and more, your life and every decision you make seem to revolve around your infertility.
