Laughing IS Conceivable: One Woman's Extremely Funny Peek into the Extremely Unfunny World of Infertility. Lori Shandle Fox.
According to Dallas, this book is best for people who are in a place to look back on their infertility and are ready to find humor in it. The author writes about her in vitro treatments, provides a humorous look at the unsexy and uncomfortable woes of medical treatment. Note: {not a spoiler} Lori Shandle Fox's infertility treatments resulted in precious babies. Dallas recommends this book to women/couples who have conceived children. This might not be the book for you if you haven't undergone (or don't plan to undergo) in vitro fertilization, or if you haven't gotten pregnant yet.
