Perfectly words every feeling I've felt as an "infertile" by Kelsey L. Nelson (Montana) 5 Stars
September 26, 2009
I'm normally not the type of person to jump on the internet and leave a review about a book, but this book is AWESOME. It puts the feelings I've felt for so long into understandable words. I finally realize that what I'm going through is so similar to so many others and that my feelings are valid. I was hooked from the very first page. I just got this book yesterday, and I'm 2/3 done--I'll finish tonite! And I'm not a reader.. If you (or a loved one) is suffering with infertility, this is a must read! My Mom read the back of it and she wants to read it when I'm done, which is perfect because "fertiles" sometimes don't understand how we feel. Thank you so much Mike and Jenna!

This I understand by Jenny (North Carolina) 5 Stars
May 23, 2009
For the last year I've been reading everything I can get my hands on that deals with infertility. This book is like having a conversation with a friend. She includes her own journaling during her treatments and her husband's pieces are a great addition. I just felt like I was reading my own journal. This is a great read for anyone who has encountered infertility-- or for those who known someone on this journey. It's one of the first books I've read where everything doesn't turn out happily baby at the end. I read this book in just a couple hours and cried through several parts. Great book and very realistic.

Loved It! by T. Moothart (Readlyn, IA) 5 Stars

I just wanted to leave the best review for this book ever! I could NOT put it down. It was like reading my own words throughout this entire book. Any woman who is suffering from infertility issues of any kind and needs a little understanding and reassurment that they're not crazy for the things they are thinking this is the book for them!! Most comforting book I've picked up on the issue!

Everyone needs to read this by shopper (NJ) 5 Stars

This is not a book to give some magical solution. It is a real book, about a real couple, and what it is really like to have infertility. I am a private person and never felt comfortable discussing with my family or friends what my husband and I have been going through for the past 2 years. I've shared this book with them as a way for our family/friends to have a glipse of what we have been going through. It is a must read if you or someone you know is undergoing infertility treatment. I was great to have words put to my emotions.

Thank you Jenna for writing this book! by Tanya McKee (California) 5 Stars

I cannot recommend this book enough. The day I received it from Amazon, I stayed up until 3 am to finish it in one sitting. I cried my eyes out the entire time. I plan on sharing it with my mom next, in hopes that we can learn to relate to one another. The author displayed incredible courage and strength in giving infertility a voice. I couldn't agree more that infertility is less about the statistics, and more about the person. This is a must read for anyone struggling with infertility and the family and friends who struggle to understand.
