The Infertility Survival Handbook: The Truth About the Real Success Rate of Fertility Clinics, Keeping Your Marriage Intact, What Kind of Doctor You Need, and Not Going Broke

This book is real. Blunt. To the point. It is all the information that you need and given to you in real world terms. The author doesn't hold anything back and that is what a person on the infertility rollercoaster needs. If you buy this book, you won't need to buy any others on this subject. My only disappointment is that this book wasn't available years ago when I started my infertility ride.

I have read several infertility books, and by far this one has been the best. I purchased the book a few months ago and absolutely love it. In fact, it was through her book, that I somewhat outed myself (after 8 years) to everyone that I was infertile. Putting the book on the homepage of my website somehow made it very clear to everyone what I was going through. After reading her story (which she openly shares in the first chapter of the book) I realized there WERE other options for me out there. My husband and I are currently going through the adoption process, and I honestly believe that we would not have taken the step toward it had it not been for this book.

For writing a book that is easy to read yet so full of information. In the two years of dealing with infertility, I have never read a book that was written as if the author was a good friend and talking to me. But, yet, Swire-Falker accomplishes that with this book. There is so much information in this book and presented in a comfortable and easily digested manner. Swire-Falker covers so much in this book: Finding a good RE or Fertility Clinic, Testing, Diagnosis, Treatment Options, Affording Infertility, Understanding Your Cycle, Beginning IF Treatments and more. This book has it all! Ms. Swire-Falker, THANK YOU for writing this book!

INFERTILITY SUCKS is right! My dh & I wasted so much time and money trying to have our first child. My gyno said she was an inferitlity specialist - HA! Misinformation at every turn. Run around from insurance company, which we had to argue with to even get meds covered. Marriage nearly went in the tank before we took a break, got some counseling and then did some research - we would've saved tons of $$ and 2+ years if we had this book! I found the section for men particularly well written. A friend told me to get this book since we are trying for #2. A big THANK YOU TO the Author! READ THIS BOOK FIRST IF NEED HELP TO GET PREGNANT!

As someone who has walked the road of infertility, I can say that this book ranks number one in my opinion. Infertility is a hard path and this book validates the fear, uncertainty, and sorrow of infertility. Most importantly though the book offers a great resource for the different options and struggles that may meet the infertility patient on the road to parenthood. Ms. Swire-Falker tells it like no one before her. She is there with you each step of the way and offers advice and guidance and most importantly understanding. Only a great author can make the infertility patient smile and laugh at some of the worst that infertility has to offer. Hats off to Ms. Swire-Falker for offering such a book to the legions of infertility patients nationwide.
