About This Is Trying To Conceive: Real-life Experiences
Product Description "It reminds me of Chicken Soup for the Soul books by Jack Canfield, but for infertility". An excerpt from This is Trying To Conceive:Now that I’m telling you I’m dealing with infertility, please don’t try and ‘fix it’ for me. You can’t. Trust me. Please don’t say ‘I read an article about…’ or ‘My neighbour’s boss’s sister-in-law’s best friend tried for ten years and then went on holiday…’ because that makes me feel worse. Please don’t pity me or look at me with sad eyes. You could instead ask me ‘How are you?’ and wait to hear my answer. You could say ‘I’m here for you’. Are you struggling to conceive?Do you feel no one else understands what it's like dealing with infertility? Wouldn't it help you to read real-life experiences from others who have had their own rollercoaster journey? Infertility sucks, and it takes over your thoughts every day and night. Nobody chooses to have infertility, and, if you have been dealt this hand, know that you are not alone. Sheila Lamb, and the amazing contributors in this book, have either had their own personal infertility struggle, or they support women and men like you. They all want to help by sharing their experience of infertility, so that you too can survive and rise above this testing time in your life. In This is Trying To Conceive, you will read that: Your feelings about infertility are perfectly normal We all feel envious of our pregnant BFF It's OK, and healthy, to grieve that you're not holding your baby in your arms yet It's so important to laugh and find humour in your life whilst trying to conceive We all find pregnancy announcements and baby showers difficult. This is Trying To Conceive is also for you if you have never struggled to have a baby, and therefore don't always 'get it'. You're probably not aware that one in eight couples are dealing with infertility, and that it is equally due to male and female complications. If you know of someone who is struggling to get pregnant but aren't sure how to support them, then This is Trying To Conceive is the book for you; it'll help you to understand and be supportive, and to steer clear of inadvertently saying something insensitive. This is Trying To Conceive has also be written for patient facing staff who have never experienced infertility themselves, for fertility practitioners who are supporting infertile women and men, and for health care professionals who are caring for women/couples who are pregnant after infertility.

Review "Sheila Lamb has curated insights, advice and experiences from real people who have struggled, or are still struggling with infertility, into this amazingly helpful book, 'This Is Trying to Conceive'. Composed of different entries, giving amazing points of view and advice, on everything from how to deal with the constant barrage of unsolicited advice, to how to handle the jerk-off room, while punctuated with über-relatable illustrations and quips, this book has it all." - Karen Jefferies, author of Hilariously Infertile "Reading through the 'This is Trying To Conceive' ebook, I love the concept! It reminds me of Chicken Soup for the Soul books by Jack Canfield, but for the infertility community. I especially love that Sheila wants to use the 'This is' series to educate medical staff; this is a passion of mine as well”. - Jalina King, Infertility Advocate | Relentless Encourager, thissideofif.com.
