Shares candid humor and practical advice on everything that goes along with trying to start a family, including dealing with fertile friends, surviving "sex on demand," and navigating the ins and outs of high-tech fertility treatments. - Hci
"The âGirlfriendâs Guide to Conceptionâ¦â meets Sex and the City, The Conception Chronicles is not a clinical guide to getting pregnant or understanding infertility. It contains the kind of no-holds-bar banter only your best girlfriends can offer. These authors should know! When they were going through their struggles to conceive, this is the book they sought to find, but couldnât. So they wrote it! Whether a woman has been trying to conceive for just a few months or has taken the leap to infertility treatments, she doesnât need more medical advice on baby-makingâshe gets enough of that from doctors, the Internet and well-meaning family members. What she needs is humor, advice, and support from women whoâve been there. Infertility is one issue most women donât share with coworkers or extended friends or family: Itâs an invisible âclubâ to which 6.1 million women belong. This three-author team, Courtney Menzel, Shelly Sutphen , Patty Debano offers diverse perspectives on the infertility experience, their personal journeys through infertility, and advice and insights on navigating overwhelming emotions, including guilt, jealousy, inadequacy, anger and depression, which can impact a womanâs self-esteem, her relationship and sex life, and professional life.

When we first started down the baby-making path, we thought we'd be pregnant in no time. We'd just toss out our birth control pills and before we knew it, we'd be rocking our little one to sleep. Little did we know what was in store for us, or the energy it would take to face all of the crazy, unpredictable and (sometimes) irrational emotions we felt along the way. Neither did our husbands. Sound familiar?
- If your idea of foreplay is screaming, "I'm ovulating; it's time!!!" to your oblivious husband...
- If your ovulation schedule is ruling your life and every trip to the drug store includes a bulk purchase of pregnancy sticks...
- If you're running out of answers to the chronic questioning from the pregnancy paparazzi about your plans for parenthood ...
Then this is the book for you. Whether it's been three months or three years since you've been trying, the more complicated and overwhelming the process becomes.
The Conception Chronicles shares candid humor, hold-nothing-back banter and practical advice on everything that goes along with trying to start a family: from dealing with your fertile friends to the battery of tests you may have to face; from surviving "sex on demand" to navigating the ins and outs of high-tech fertility treatments. This book will guide you through the emotional journey to motherhood, offering compassion and laughter like only your best girlfriends can. And we promise you'll never hear us say, "Relax and you'll be pregnant in no time."
