Inhaltsangabe

Are you about to go through the dreaded two-week wait (TWW) after an IVF cycle or other fertility treatment?
Are you feeling stressed about how on earth you’re going to survive while you’re PUPO (pregnant until proven otherwise)?

Whether you’ve done IVF or another fertility treatment, the days until you can trust the pregnancy test result are both scary and fantastic. Wondering whether your embryo(s) has snuggled in and is sticking around has to be one of the hardest waits on this journey to becoming a parent.

It’s OK to be anxious but also excited because you’ve invested so much to get to this point. But you are not alone. Most people who’ve had fertility treatment to have their child/children don’t openly share what they’ve been through, which leaves us thinking we are the only ones. You may not have anyone you can talk to, but in this book, you’ll find the support you deserve by reading honest, real-life stories and experiences from others who have survived this dreaded 'wait.'

In This is the Two Week Wait, you’ll read:

  • whether it’s a good idea to test early, or not
  • that we all analyze every twinge, cramp and ‘feeling’
  • that it’s normal for your emotions to range from incredible hope to utter despair, in a matter of minutes, and
  • some top tips for managing your two-week wait with beauty and calmness.
This is the Two Week Wait will also help to raise awareness outside of the trying to conceive community, by explaining the realities of what it’s like to go through fertility treatment. This book should be required reading for:
  • Someone who’s never been through IVF, IUI or ICSI, but wishes to support someone who is
  • Patient facing staff who have never experienced fertility treatment themselves
  • Practitioners who are supporting infertile men and women, and
  • Health care professionals who are caring for men and women who are pregnant after fertility treatment, because worry and anxiety doesn’t end with a positive pregnancy test
Sadly, having fertility treatment does NOT guarantee a baby despite what many people assume, hence the roller-coaster emotions felt during these 336 hours.

Wishing you all the very best for a BFP (big fat positive pregnancy test).

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Sheila Lamb had a six-year infertility journey that involved a diagnosis of unexplained infertility, two unsuccessful fertility treatment cycles, an early pregnancy loss after a donor egg cycle, investigations into natural killer cells and thrombophilia, and a successful second donor egg cycle. Her rainbow baby was born in 2011, a week after her forty-seventh birthday. This life-changing experience has led her to support the trying to conceive (TTC) and baby loss communities, by publishing her Fertility Books series - a collection of true-life short stories, straight from the heart about the emotional realities of infertility, IVF, the two-week wait, and loss, from women and men passionate about offering their support. #youarenotaloneWhen not writing book or supporting the TTC community, Sheila enjoys reading (of course!), spending time with her daughter, meeting friends and going for walks.
