This book also contains real-life stories from couples who have experienced the process and features innovative but practical tips on coping with the associated stresses of infertility and IVF procedures, how diet, attitude, the relationship of hormones, the male factor and other conditions play a role, and how to keep joy and hope in your lives during your journey in creating a happy, healthy family.
INTRODUCTION
"If you were baking a cake for someone you loved on a special occasion, you would take great care to follow the recipe, right? You would preheat the oven and use the best quality ingredients, you would stir and whip and measure with the utmost of care before baking it at just the right temperature and watching it mindfully. And the results would be magnificent and worth the effort."
