That your body was not able to function as designed, or that your knowledge of how your own body even works has been severely limited?
Now imagine that you’re expected to take that news and continue functioning normally, field invasive and often hurtful questions or statements, and maintain your interpersonal relationships.
This is exactly how it feels for the millions of individuals and couples that find themselves experiencing infertility. So how ironic is it that one of the most common acronyms for infertility is IF, considering how much of our lives feel like a great big “what if” during infertility.
Regina Townsend wants to help you make sense of the what if’s. Through this book she’ll use her personal story of infertility, infused with her signature wit and empathy to help you:
- Make sense of the various and often unexpected feelings that fertility issues present
- Provide some humor to a difficult and often heartbreaking situation
- Gain insight, tools, and even words to help along your journey
- Remember that this is all a part of your journey and deserves to be documented, regardless of the outcome
- Find solace in knowing that your feelings are valid and that you are not alone
Part memoir and part guided journal, Make IF Make Sense will empower you to push through to the goals you have in mind for your family building or reproductive health journey. Ideal for those experiencing infertility, or the loving friends and family who wish they knew how to offer support.
