Some parts can be helpful but a lot of the medical advice I knew already as I picked this book up 2.5 years into treatments. I also didn’t like the mentions throughout of BMI because it’s not backed in science!! It’s made up BS so I hate to see it being brought up in this book as a potential reason for infertility.

I liked that when the author mentions alternatives to conceiving, like adoption, she reminds readers that adoption is not a consolation prize and needs to be because of the child not because you can’t have a child yourself which a lot of people seem to forget 🙃

The sections about emotions and knowing when to step away were the most helpful for me because it’s what I struggle with the most throughout the journey.

As with any self help book grounded in medical/science related topics but not written by a Dr- it can be helpful to have someone to relate to but always consult a MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL over trusting advice from a podcaster. The emotional tips and advice were helpful but the medical stuff was overwhelming more than providing helpful info. It’s verrrrryyyy US focused so felt narrow in its scope and Unrelatable for me in many sections. 

Overall it’s an excellent guide that you can skip around and read what’s most needed for you. I skipped a lot of chapters because they didn’t apply to me but would recommend if you’re in the US. If you’re not, a memoir might be more helpful/insightful
