2008-06-08 A great book that became a firm friend

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I read it straight through once when I first bought it, and then re-read it section-by-section as I went through the various stages of IVF.

I found it very helpful as it gives a very human and honest account of the actual experience of each stage, the medications involved and their side-effects as experienced by Imogen. This type of personal account is just not found in the more technical guides to IVF.

As well as being sad in places, it was also very funny in others and I insisted on reading out relevant sections to those family members involved in our IVF journey. This book became a great companion through our treatment.
