    I third Unsung Lullabies. If nothing else, it helped me validate this emotional roller-coaster I'm on (I really needed it at the time).
    Me & DH: Both 30 / Married 3 years / TTC since 10/2013
    Dx: Annovulatory
    8/2014: Clomid (50 & 100) + TI = BFN
    10/2014: Clomid (100 & 150) + TI = BFN
    12/2014: Follistim/Ovidrel/Endometrin + TI = BFN
    1/2015: Follistim/Ovidrel/Endometrin + IUI

    Thanks for bringing up this question. I just went to Amazon to check out some reviews. I think I'm going to order The Infertility Companion to help me think through the ethics of IVF before we make our decision. Does anyone have a rec for or against this book?

    Sorry this is a bit late but "Every Drunken Cheerleader, Why Not Me?" is a light funny read. I highly recommend it!

    @BunnyBerry‌ I haven't introduced myself on this board yet, as I've been "lurking" after my recent m/c, while I wait for my next cycle, so we can start treatment again. But I just wanted to say that the book "Infertility Companion" is one of the books I got a few months ago. I put it away shortly after I got it, since I was hoping I wouldn't need it anymore, but am planning on reading it soon. I've just skimmed some sections, and seems like it would be a helpful book if you are looking for some info from a perspective that believes life begins at conception. Not sure if that is what you mean when mentioned the "ethics of IVF," but this is something I have been wondering about myself and haven't been able to find much good info on so far.
    TTC since Oct 2011-April 2012, then again since Oct 2013
    Fertility treatments since June 2014
    IUI w/clomid #4- 9/27 - BFP two weeks later, M/C on 11/14/14 at 9 weeks
