While many would like to have children, the road toward conceiving and maintaining a pregnancy can be unexpectedly rocky and winding. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Lawyer Elizabeth Katkin never imagined her quest for children would ultimately involve seven miscarriages, eight fresh IVF cycles, two frozen IVF attempts, five natural pregnancies, four IVF pregnancies, ten doctors, six countries, two potential surrogates, nine years, and roughly $200,000. Despite her three Ivy League degrees and wealth of resources, Katkin found she was woefully undereducated when it came to understanding and confronting her own difficulties having children. After being told by four doctors she should give up, but without an explanation as to what exactly was going wrong with her body, Katkin decided to look for answers herself. The global investigation that followed revealed that approaches to the fertility process taken in many foreign countries are vastly different than those in the US and UK. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eConceivability, \u003c\/i\u003eElizabeth Katkin, now a mother of two, exposes eye-opening information about the medical, financial, legal, scientific, emotional, and ethical issues at stake. \"A well-researched, informative, and positive account of a very long journey to motherhood\" (\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eConceivability \u003c\/i\u003esheds light on the often murky and baffling world of conception science. Her book is an invaluable and inspiring text that will be a boon to others navigating the deep and \"choppy waters\" of fertility treatment (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e), and her chronicle of one of the most difficult, painful, rewarding, and loving journeys a woman can take is as informative as it is poignant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Katkin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501142372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501142376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Elizabeth Katkin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935187861759,"sku":"9781501142376","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b14d7e90-0ac4-4a71-805f-80d507fe21b8.jpg?v=1681418365","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conceivability-elizabeth-katkin-9781501142376","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
