When you're not expecting - Constance Hoenk Shapiro

A sisterhood of support for coping with infertility "This compelling and insightful book will be much appreciated by women and men experiencing infertility. When You're Not Expecting is an important antidote to the top–down medical protocols that many have experienced." –– Ramona Faith Oswald, Ph.D., 2010 Program Chair of the National Council on Family Relations Too many women face the unexpected diagnosis of infertility without the support they need to survive and thrive during months (or years) of treatment options, difficult decisions, and emotional turmoil. For more than twenty years, Constance H. Shapiro–celebrated therapist, author, and professor–has dedicated her practice to helping women and couples deal with infertility. In When You're Not Expecting , she combines her wisdom with the personal stories, creative solutions, and revelations of over 200 women and couples diagnosed with infertility. This book is for you if Your inability to get pregnant is causing you confusion and anxiety. You can't figure out who to tell about your infertility (or how much to confide). You are not getting the support you need. Your sex life has lost its zing now that you have calendars and ovulation kits on your bedside table. You are single or in a lesbian relationship and hoping to conceive. You have experienced pregnancy loss. More and more, your life and every decision you make seem to revolve around your infertility.
