The Two-Week Wait by Luke C Jackson
5.0
Trying to conceive is really hard, especially if you are close to 35 years old, and Kelly is in this story. Your eggs start getting old, and like chickens, you don't produce quite as much as you did when you were younger. And the world makes you check your temperature, and harvest eggs and take drugs to produce more eggs. And each two week wait after you have gone through whatever you have gone through, while waiting to find out if you are pregnant is the worst time you could ever spend. You want to not think about it constantly, and you do.
I never had to go through IVF, but I did have to go through bits of it, such as the drugs for the egg producing, and the being artificially inseminated.
It is grueling, because you want to keep it to yourself, and not share until it is good news. And Kelly and Luke go through all the roller coaster that this is. That the heartache. All the pain.
Very truthful, and very tearing at the heart strings. Good book.
