Experiencing infertility is a challenge that can deeply overshadow a person’s life. It affects one in six couples. And yet, it is still a taboo subject.
When Verity and her husband, Paul, found themselves plunged into that uncertain world, and the pain of experiencing miscarriages along the way, they discovered it to be a world that no one discusses. They couldn’t even find books written by anyone who had actually experienced it themselves.
That’s when Verity, calling upon her experience as a journalist and magazine editor, decided to keep a diary of events that unfolded upon their traumatic journey of trying for a baby in the hope that one day, as a book, it would help rid the taboo shroud that surrounds infertility as a subject and help people on their emotional journeys.
If you are experiencing infertility and don’t know which way to turn, then reading this book about one couple’s journey first-hand may be just the support and inspiration that you need.
“I believe that this book has a rich and detailed description of emotional and physical constraints that came with this journey easily described in a natural way without any artificial make-up or masks.”
—Mr Raef Faris, MSc FRCOG
“This book should also be read by all the team involved in care. It will give them an in-depth understanding of the often very rough seas that the couple have to endure. Verity, a big thank you from me for helping other patients!”
—Mr Michael Dooley, MMS FFSRH FRCOG
