About this audiobook

You have done everything the clinic asked, and you are tired in a way that sleep does not touch. Somewhere between the last transfer and the next consult, a quiet question has started to follow you around: how do you know when to stop, and what else is there? When to Stop IVF is a gentle, practical guide for the decision point itself. It will not tell you to quit and it will not tell you to keep going. Instead, it helps you think clearly, grieve honestly and choose a path that is yours. It is not a general guide to getting pregnant, a medical manual, or a book for someone just starting to try; it picks up where the treatment roadmap gets blurry and the people around you are sure it should have worked by now. Inside, you'll learn: Whatever you decide, you are not a failure. This book is company for the hardest part of the road.
