Summary: GREAT BOOK!
Review: As someone who has walked the road of infertility, I can say that this book ranks number one in my opinion. Infertility is a hard path and this book validates the fear, uncertainty, and sorrow of infertility. Most importantly though the book offers a great resource for the different options and struggles that may meet the infertility patient on the road to parenthood. Ms. Swire-Falker tells it like no one before her. She is there with you each step of the way and offers advice and guidance and most importantly understanding. Only a great author can make the infertility patient smile and laugh at some of the worst that infertility has to offer. Hats off to Ms. Swire-Falker for offering such a book to the legions of infertility patients nationwide.

Summary: Thank You Ms. Swire-Falker!
Review: For writing a book that is easy to read yet so full of information. In the two years of dealing with infertility, I have never read a book that was written as if the author was a good friend and talking to me. But, yet, Swire-Falker accomplishes that with this book. There is so much information in this book and presented in a comfortable and easily digested manner. Swire-Falker covers so much in this book: Finding a good RE or Fertility Clinic, Testing, Diagnosis, Treatment Options, Affording Infertility, Understanding Your Cycle, Beginning IF Treatments and more. This book has it all! Ms. Swire-Falker, THANK YOU for writing this book!

Summary: AN ESSENTIAL GUIDE IF YOU'RE DEALING WITH INFERTILITY
Review: Heartfelt, honest and exceptionally well-informed, this is a book to read and re-read if anyone in your family is having trouble conceiving. Every imaginable option--including the latest "state of the art" medical treatments--is described in detail. The author's recommendations throughout come from well-documented personal experience. This is an immensely useful reference that's helpful on many levels--from the medical to the intensely personal. It's written with a dash of wit and an eye for the special needs of those who are actually going though infertility treatments. Recommended.

Summary: Thumbs up! Great book!
Review: I am someone who dealt with infertility for 13 years. When I first started trying to get pregnant, there weren't many books on infertility. Sure, there were tons of pregnancy books but not many on help to become pregnant. I certainly wish this book existed when I was trying to become pregnant. The Infertility Suvivor Handbook is very well written with lots of added humor that I enjoyed very much. Ms. Swire Falker shares her personal journey of infertility. I laughed and cried while reading this book. I was much more educated with this book, written by a woman who has gone through years of infertility, than books written by doctors. Infertility has and always will be a big part of my life. I am proud to say I am now the mother of 3 year old twins. Even though I am a mother, the pain of infertility is always with me. That is the reason I read Ms. Swire Falker's book. I learned having Post Traumatic Stress Disorder isn't uncommon after going through infertility. I was just recently diagnosed with PTSD. Reading this book made me feel much better knowing that I am not alone. I will recommend this book to anyone who is trying to get pregnant or who is even thinking of getting pregnant. This is a must read book!!

Summary: Why didn't I find this book sooner!?
Review: I cannot tell you how long I have been struggling with infertility and I must have read every book on the subject. Finally someone GETS IT! This book taught me everything I could have ever wanted to know from finding ways to afford my treatment to dealing with my husband. I am pregnant now, and wish I had read this book earlier. I think I would have gotten pregnant faster if I had it before and had understood better what I was facing and how some of my choices (like the clinic I went to) were maybe slowing me down. This is a great book for anyone who is infertile!

Summary: The Best Infertility Book Out There!!
Review: I have read several infertility books, and by far this one has been the best. I purchased the book a few months ago and absolutely love it. In fact, it was through her book, that I somewhat outed myself (after 8 years) to everyone that I was infertile. Putting the book on the homepage of my website somehow made it very clear to everyone what I was going through. After reading her story (which she openly shares in the first chapter of the book) I realized there WERE other options for me out there.
My husband and I are currently going through the adoption process, and I honestly believe that we would not have taken the step toward it had it not been for this book.

Summary: WISH I HAD READ SOONER!
Review: I just received this book and wish I had read it sooner. I've been living through infertility for over six years and if I had read this book earlier I may have saved myself so much frustration and heartache! This book tells it like it is and gives me so much information I feel that I can confront my doctors and my treatment choices with authority! I big thank you to the author for sharing her intimate experience and making me feel that I'm not alone in this world. Every infertility patient (or even those women (or men) who have yet to be diagnosed but fear the worse) should read this book! It doesn't matter if you are headed into your first consult or on your fourth IVF - this book is a Godsend!
