The Mess in Her Womb: A couple's journey through Infertility by Chhavi Gandhi Juneja

4.0

“The mess in your womb led to the mess in your head.”

We meet the main character, Drishti, as she is experiencing the agonizing pain - both emotionally and physically - of a second miscarriage. For three years, she and her husband have been trying to build a family with the help of IVF or In vitro fertilization.

Quick stats:
According to the CDC, over 6 million women just in the United States have difficulty getting and/or staying pregnant. To give you even more of a perspective of how common infertility is among women, 1 in 4 experience miscarriage, 1 in 8 struggle to conceive.

Chances are, you know someone who has had a run-in with infertility. So why don’t you hear about it? It’s an uncomfortable conversation to have and unfortunately a taboo subject for the majority of society.
