The trailblazing fertility program at New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Medical Center has pioneered many of the procedures that are now standard practices in fertility centers around the world.

Barren Grace is a novel inspired by the author’s own experience with infertility, a difficult but transformational journey of several years. While trying to come to terms with the fact that she would never have biological children, Nikolina longed to find solace in a novel that would make her feel less alone while also giving her hope for a way forward. Unable to find such a book, she decided to write it. The result is an entertaining and moving story of two strong women—one at the threshold of adulthood, another of middle age—negotiating passion, family, and career, and discovering a few things along the way, most notably—themselves.

Conception – A Fertility Doctor’s Memoir describes the history of IVF and the world it made from someone who has been practicing since its earliest days. It will appeal to anyone who has considered IVF in the past 40 years, and those who wonder if they will ever need it in the future. It will also likely appeal to those who have reservations about assisted reproduction and how it has so dramatically moved a fundamental human act out of the bedroom and into the lab, even as it has stoked our fears about designer babies. Conception will help people to understand the headlines we read every day about egg-freezing technology and the way in which celebrities over 45 get pregnant. (Hint: they use donor eggs.)
What lies ahead is thrilling to contemplate and even a little bit frightening. But when we have context for these discussions, readers will be able to make the choices that are best for them. For more information, follow this link.

Praying Through Infertility: A 90-Day Devotional for Men and Women
Written by men and women who have faced infertility themselves with various outcomes, this book reminds you that you are not alone and will help set your heart free from fear.
Compiled by acclaimed writer, speaker, and broadcaster Sheridan Voysey, Praying Through Infertility is written to let you know that you are:

Not alone when you feel jealous of parents who have what you want
Not alone when a giggling child brings not delight but grief
Not alone in wondering who you'll be if you never become a mom or dad
Praying Through Infertility doesn't offer advice on treatments or give spiritual formulas for miracle conceptions. Instead, it offers an empathetic and hopeful accompaniment through the long dark night you are walking through.

Though expensive and challenging, it’s a journey to be proud of. For more information, and to purchase the book, visit Amazon here.

A variety of conditions, including ovulation disorders, uterine or cervical anomalies, fallopian tube damage, endometriosis, and PCOS can all be responsible for causing infertility. Additionally, lifestyle factors such as age, weight, alcohol intake, and tobacco use can have an affect on fertility. A reproductive health check is an easy way to get a better sense of your fertility status. Through this health check, you can understand the issues that may be preventing you from achieving pregnancy, address those issues with an appropriate treatment plan, and start building a family.
