Infertility can make women - and their partners - feel completely powerless. This clear, perceptive and incredibly helpful book enables women to empower themselves to not only deal with infertility but navigate the often difficult and confusing path through IVF.

Written by experienced counsellor Claire Hall and fertility expert Dr Devora Lieberman, Empowered Fertility is a practical guide for women to help them cope with their psychological wellbeing, their emotions, family and friends and their attitudes during a very difficult time. It contains clearly structured and expressed information and offers women practical steps to assist them as they go through the experience of and treatment for infertility.

The steps are:

  1. How Did You Get Here?
  2. Accepting What Is
  3. Letting Go of Expectations
  4. Feeling a Bit Off-Kilter?
  5. A Conversation with Fear
  6. Releasing Control
  7. Building Your Emotional Toolkit
  8. Handling Family and Friends
  9. Relationship Bumps
  10. Moving Forward
  11. When Enough is Enough
  12. Embracing

The reader can work through at their own pace, making use of the coaching tools and exercises to help with each step. For readers who are starting or in the midst of IVF treatment, the last section of the book forms an IVF Cycle Handbook, to guide women through their experience.

Included in the handbook:
Milestone 1: The Injection Phase
Milestone 2: The Egg Collection
Milestone 3: The Embryo Transfer
Milestone 4: The Waiting Game
Milestone 5: Taking the Test

The book concludes with a list of resources for readers who seek more information, and includes online resources for Australia, New Zealand, the United States of America and the United Kingdom.
