ESSENTIAL reading for anyone facing infertility - especially secondary!!! Oct 09, 2008
This book spoke to my soul. I have tried to express to my husband all of the ups and downs of fertility treatments, hormones, etc. This book made me feel as though I had a kindred spirit, that I was not the only person to go through the hell that infertility and it's treatments can create.
This book has excellent writing, smart humor and some insight to help you breathe that deep sigh of relief. Although the way some of the characters resolve their infertility issues may not be the route for everyone, it certainly portrays several options and all of them in a positive light.
If you are struggling with infertility, but especially SECONDARY infertility this is a must read!!!

Finally a no nonsense approach! May 14, 2008
In November 07', at age thirty, I was diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Failure. My husband and I were told the only way we could have a biological child was through IVF. Since November I have been reading infertility books, looking for emotional support. In the tradition books all I was able to find was factual and scientific information, which stated what was wrong with me, but never really reached the heart of the matter. When I read Jill's book, I finally felt like someone understood me. While the book is a fictional account of her experience, her emotions must have been completely nonfiction! I have had so many "me too" moments while reading this book. It has been the first book that has made me realize I am not completely crazy. Knowning the others have had frustrating experiences with doctors, and adoption agencies and medications(as well as unsolicited information!!) has been both comforting and helpful. I would recommend this book to any woman suffering from infertility. I would also recommend this book to anyone who has a friend or family member suffering, it is an eye-opening glimpse into the ups and downs of infertility.
Excellent Book! Feb 24, 2008
This book is great! The author is very warm and the book makes you laugh out loud at times. It is like talking with a close girlfriend. I highly reccomend this book even if you are not having fertility issues the book is a fun & quick read.
Great Book Jan 28, 2008
I got this book yesterday in the mail and could not put it down. I am not a reader at all and I finished the book this afternoon. I could relate to this book on almost every aspect. I laughed and cried. I would recommend this book to all ladies with infertility issues or not... just so they could have a glimpse of what we go through on a daily basis!

What Really Matters Apr 04, 2007
A friend gave me this book, knowing I would enjoy it. I just finished it tonight, and really did like it! Jill Sayre writes from the heart and from her own personal experiences, yet fictionalizes the world in her novel so I, as the reader, wondered what really happened to the author.
The Waiting Womb is a triumphant story of how a heart can heal and that it does not just take a womb to make a family. It takes love, selflessness, and strength. The characters in the novel were so very real - it reads like a memoir, one that I couldn't put down!
I look forward to reading more of Jill Sayre's work!
