Infertility Insanity: When Sheer Hope (and Google) are the Only Options Left
by Julie Selby
About the Book
God made man on day six … if only it was that easy.
Infertility is an emotional ride full of hopeful highs and devastating lows. There are times when you think you are losing your mind and there are times when you do. If you are struggling with infertility and are ready to jump off a cliff when another of your friends announces they are pregnant, or know someone who is going through infertility, you need to read this. This is the story of one woman’s infertility journey, interwoven with several of her friends’ tales who found themselves in the same situation. It is about everything she tried from the traditional to the bizarre; the impact on her relationship; her bank balance and her sanity. Witty, irreverent and deeply honest, it’s everything you should know, but no one dares to tell you, about being “unfertile.”
About the Author
During Julie Selby’s four year infertility journey, she was told that her chances of conceiving were less than 10% even with medical intervention. To beat the odds, she tried everything to conceive from acupuncture, to immune testing, to trips to the psychic. Her insightful observations about the things she tried and the challenges she faced brings a humorous and refreshing approach to this highly emotional topic. Today Julie resides in Vancouver with her husband and is the forty-five year old mother of five year old twins.
