Love and Infertility: Survival Strategies for Balancing Infertility, Marriage, and Life

This book was not easy to put down so I read it in two days. :D I absolutely love the little exercises for couples after each chapter.

The book has a "buffet" of ideas of techinques for dealing with the stresses of infertility. Ideas include practical communication starters, and thought-provoking ways of looking at your partner's and your own needs and communication styles. Some ideas I left on the buffet table. With some others, I piled my plate high! Useful for anyone who is just starting out or well along the infertility treatment path, and is finding it stressful (and you'd be hard pressed not to).

This book is a must read, she talks about struggles couples face when going throw infertility and ways to gain control back, This book makes you feel like your not alone, other couples face the same obstacles as you do! She lets you into her home and heart by sharing stories of her infertility experience and what steps her and her husband took to solve their own problems. I felt like she was speaking to me through her book like a friend. she's honest, down to earth, funny, practical and educated. She has wonderful tips and techniques that are very helpful in dealing with you husband your family and your life. It gave me a new prepective and new hope, I would reccommend this book to everyone.

Thanks to Love and Infertility I'm back in control of my emotions and communicating better with my husband! We now have our own elevator speech and I'm much more comfortable in social situations. We're also using the gratitude list to combat our negative feelings of being childless. I recommend this book to anyone battling infertility!

Kristen is both funny and wise. She's been there, both professionally and personally, and she's learned from it. Through anectodes and practical tips, she shares her victories and lets us, too, learn from her failures. Her book is an honest, practical and easy to read compilation of very personal anecdotes and well-researched strategies for finding balance during a very trying time. Read it-- you'll be glad she is holding your hand on the rocky journey to parenthood!

Love and Infertility was such a stress relief for me. The book offered a wide variety of tips on how to communicate better with your partner to creating a fertility game plan to making a goals list. The book is an easy read and is also good for couples that are looking to seek balance in their lives. I'm thankful for this new perspective on infertility and will recommend it to all my friends!
