Book Reviews of I Am More Than My Infertility
Book Review: Take Back Your Power to Choose
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is a different kind of infertility book. It is not going to tell you how to solve the medical aspect of infertility. It is about coping with infertility so that you can be whole and define yourself and your life beyond the limiting label of "infertile". The authors express the purpose of the book clearly in this passage of the introduction:
"When fertility issues create...a barricade, you have very few choices. You can screech to a halt, cowering behind this obstacle in depression and self-blame. You can beat your head against it in frustration. Or you can....find a way to dismantle the barrier, brick by brick" (p.4).
The authors present seven "power tools" that detail the coping skills that will help you face your infertility:
1. Take care of your body
2. Make conscious choices
3. Set healthy boundaries
4. Tell the truth
5. Take quiet space
6. Give yourself permission to grieve
7. See the big picture
My husband and I were diagnosed with unexplained infertility and struggled for four years before we finally became pregnant with our beautiful daughter through IVF. There was tremendous grief during that journey. We also lost three sons in failed adoptions. This book provided practical advice and tangible actions I could take to renew my freedom to choose.
For a christian book on this topic that is comforting, empathetic, and inspirational I HIGHLY recommend Hannah's Hope by Jennifer Saake!Hannah's Hope: Seeking God's Heart in the Midst of Infertility, Miscarriage, and Adoption Loss
