We were on the breaking point in our relationship. The fertility treatment had such a negative impact on us, as a couple. Then we bought the book ‘Embracing Hope in Fertility’. What really helped us were the questions to ask your partner, you find after each chapter. For us this was a guidance to get a much-needed conversation going. This book really saved our marriage.

Finally, a practical guidebook. The workbook helped me to put into practice what I was reading about. I recommend it to everyone starting fertility treatment.

I really love the real-life stories in this book. To read about how other men and women experience undergoing fertility treatment. It helped me to feel normal. I am not crazy to feel all these emotions and thoughts during my treatment. I am just a normal fertility patient. That gave me a sense of relief and the return of my humor.
