Book Reviews of The Conception Chronicles: The Uncensored Truth About Sex, Love & Marriage When You're Trying to Get Pregnant
Book Review: Almost like talking to your friends
Summary: 5 Stars
I brought this book a few months ago, and honestly I have read it many times since. Beginning the infertility journey has not be easy and as the months go by you feel more and more alone. This book did provide information about different tests, medications, and procedures, but they did it in a way that wasn't scary. While this isn't a medical book it tells you things in a way your girlfriend might. It was almost like talking to women who had been there and it made you feel better knowing that you weren't the only one experiencing this emotional rollercoaster. I enjoyed this book and use it as a checklist, because it follows almost exactly what most doctors chose to do. Good luck to all of you and may all of you get your little ones soon!
Summary of The Conception Chronicles: The Uncensored Truth About Sex, Love & Marriage When You're Trying to Get Pregnant
When we first started down the baby-making path, we thought we'd be pregnant in no time. We'd just toss out our birth control pills and before we knew it, we'd be rocking our little one to sleep. Little did we know what was in store for us, or the energy it would take to face all of the crazy, unpredictable and (sometimes) irrational emotions we felt along the way. Neither did our husbands. Sound familiar?
- If your idea of foreplay is screaming, "I'm ovulating; it's time!!!" to your oblivious husband...
- If your ovulation schedule is ruling your life and every trip to the drug store includes a bulk purchase of pregnancy sticks...
- If you're running out of answers to the chronic questioning from the pregnancy paparazzi about your plans for parenthood ...
Then this is the book for you. Whether it's been three months or three years since you've been trying, the more complicated and overwhelming the process becomes.
The Conception Chronicles shares candid humor, hold-nothing-back banter and practical advice on everything that goes along with trying to start a family: from dealing with your fertile friends to the battery of tests you may have to face; from surviving "sex on demand" to navigating the ins and outs of high-tech fertility treatments. This book will guide you through the emotional journey to motherhood, offering compassion and laughter like only your best girlfriends can. And we promise you'll never hear us say, "Relax and you'll be pregnant in no time."
