Synopsis

An honest and emotional His and Hers guide to surviving IVF. Richard and Rosie started trying to conceive after five years of being together but, two and a half years and countless prenatal vitamins and ovulation kits later, there hadn't been even a phantom pregnancy. So began their adventure into IVF, via blood tests, sperm tests, injections and probes, becoming involuntary experts on embryology through failure, despair, persistence and success. After 4 years, 3 different clinics, 2 positive pregnancy tests and 1 miscarriage, they finally had a successful pregnancy. GET A LIFE is the perfect down-to-earth guide for anyone thinking of embarking on fertility treatment. It's two books in one, a book of advice for women and a survival guide for men, each chapter mirrored but with very different experience and advice. IVF is terrifying, awful and extraordinary in equal measures for both partners. GET A LIFE shares Richard and Rosie's ride on the fertility roller-coaster, bringing you the funny, emotional, and physical sides of IVF. It is an invaluable guide from both perspectives on how to get through the process in one piece.

I wish this book had been around when we were starting IVF. It brilliantly takes the mystery out of IVF, it's a must read if you are about to embark on the journey.--Gabby Logan
This is an essential read for all couples embarking on any fertility investigation or treatment and should be in every fertility clinic waiting room.--Dr James Nicopoullos, Consultant Gynaecologist and Specialist in Reproductive Medicine, Lister Fertility Clinic
