Conceiving after ICSI was an odd feeling. I was deliriously happy, yet felt that at any moment it would be snatched away after waiting so long to become pregnant. I struggled to make any plans or purchases, leaving everything to the last minute 'just in case'.
To my knowledge there are few other books that acknowledged my struggles as a real issue and I was delighted to read that my reactions to pregnancy were perfectly normal considering our journey.
I would really recommend this book for anyone who has had success after cycle(s) of treatment as it really help put my mind at ease.

This book covered many topics which other books barely mention and is written in a very accessible style. It's great to read a book by an author who has been through the issues discussed as the resulting book is very helpful for anyone coping with infertility and its consequences.
