We are bombarded by images of blissful older mothers, such as Madonna and Celine Dion. But 'Hollywood' articles about pregnancy and fertility at middle age gloss over the tremendous amount of financial, emotional, and physical effort faced by couples struggling to conceive. In this warm, funny, empathetic book, journalist Julie Vargo and literary agent Maureen Regan -- women who have experienced personally almost every aspect of infertility -- give readers a glimpse into what to expect when you're not expecting. Hormones, sperm counts -- nothing is too personal for these two outspoken women! Ranges from technical to humorous and everything in between. What are good, snappy comebacks to the question, 'Why aren't you pregnant?' What is the difference between gonadotrophin releasing hormone and progesterone? Should you freeze your eggs? These questions and many more are answered, and in the tone of a couple of good friends. Between them, the authors have gone through hormone treatments, miscarriages and multiple inseminations -- so they know firsthand the rollercoaster ride of trying to achieve pregnancy. With wise advice on how to communicate with doctors, husbands, friends, and mothers, this book is an invaluable guide for all women facing infertility. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good Intro Book When you are Freaking OutI got this book immediately after a doctors appointment where I found out I had high FSH. In my case it is due to age and at that point I had no idea about the other problems that were going on with my body (and there were many). There were two types of books on those shelves in the book store - sappy inspirational success stories ( which I didn't want to hear about) and detailed scientific books (which just confused me) and then there was this book.

I recommend this book to couples in the initial struggle of infertility. I outgrew my need for this book once I began seeing an RE. Rating:  - Good bookI though this book was good but I wouldn't rely only on it for information when it comes to infertility. I read it because I really just wanted to hear some personal stories from other women who went though the same thing. It did do that but didn't have alot of info on the "medical" side of things. Rating: - Book reviewI found this book to be informative and fun. The authors have found a way to put a lighthearted spin on an extremely emotional topic. Rating:  - If you're depressed over infertility, don't read this book!I have to say that this book was not only a huge disappointment, but it actually made me feel worse! The authors spend so much time beating you up for waiting to have children that you just want to find them and scream "Stop telling me I waited too long to have children!!! What was I supposed to do, just procreate with whoever I was dating in my 20's?" There was very little helpful information and this book just added to my depression. Save your money and your sanity and stay away from this book. ... Read More
