A Helpful Resource for those Who Struggle!!!
As my wife and I struggled with infertility a time ago, we came upon this practical and encouraging book for coping with childlessness.The author, Vicky Love, has written her story well.She is a childless wife of over 20 years, and she shares not only biblical insights, but medical advice and loving counsel for those who are experiencing the emotional pain of childlessness.

We identified with her because she had been there, yet, any outsider, whether they be family, friends, business associates, pastor, priest, needs to read this book, too.For the most part, it is a guide to spiritual and emotional health for those who do not have children and who may feel disappointed with themselves, with their mates, or even with God.

Some of the chapter titles include:
-When the Quiver is Empty
-Frustration with Infertility
-Coping with Hoping
-Good Grief
-The Single Non-Parent
-Partnership in Process
-Couples in Crisis
-Affirming Families
-Happy Mother's Day!
-The Church and the Childless

There are more chapters, to be sure, with the last chapters devoted to the "Possibilities" which can be sought in this journey.There is also a great bibliography and a list of organizations and publications for more help.This is a great resource, and read with care and love, and hopefully some who cares and loves for you. ...

Still reading
I am currently still reading this book. For me, this is not an easy read and it is not a book you will read all the way through quickly. It is very emotional and I can sometimes only read one page at a time. However, it has givin me insight on my grief and loss, and I have began the healing process. I highly recommend it. But be sure to have some alone time, a box of tissues, and time to cry.

The best book I've read on childlessness
A wonderfully-supportive, optimistic book--the best book I've read on how to deal with the emotional aspects of childlessness. I'm 40, a woman and don't have children mainly because of chronic illness; this book has helped me a lot. Written by a social-worker-therapist who is childless due to infertility, it is easy to read and gentle with readers. Anton writes that she was determined not to let childlessness ruin the rest of her life and later wrote the self-help book she had needed. She understands the emotional pain that can occur when a woman wants children but doesn't end up with a child for whatever reason.

My favorite things about this book are:
(1) Anton shares the stories of dozens of childless women who she interviewed or who completed her written questionnaire. Reading their stories, presented as composites, was fascinating and very supportive. Many of them had successfully resolved their grief and moved on to other things in life.
(2) She broadens the picture from women who have experienced infertility to include single women, those with medical or genetic problems, disabilities, problem pregnancies such as miscarriage or stillbirth, relationship issues such as husbands who don't want children, women who inadvertently waited too long to have children and lesbians. I appreciate this approach because many people are left out of infertility resources and it shows us that we aren't alone.
(3) She presents ten practical steps to work through the grief. Examples of the steps are Acknowledging and Experiencing the Loss, Understanding the Loss, Surviving the Loss, Letting Go of Blame, and Talking to Significant Others. I found some of her suggested exercises helpful and skipped others.

It was well worth my trouble to buy and read this excellent, helpful resource. In fact, I wish I had read it several years ago. Reading this book before exhausting all options or making final decisions about whether to adopt or to stop infertility treatments could be helpful. I would also recommend this book for family and close friends who want to understand what a loved one is going through. Index and bibliography included.

Another excellent self-help book that can be applied to childlessness from any cause is "Sweet Grapes: How to Stop Being Infertile and Start Living Again" by Jean W. Carter and Michael Carter (revised 1998 edition); that book is written for both men and women.

What does Anton mean by "childless" and "childfree"? She uses childless as a neutral word to describe all women who once wanted children but are permanently non-mothers.Hence, "childless women" excludes those who did not want children and those who eventually adopt but includes those who now happily appreciate the advantages of childfree living. Childfree describes all non-parents; it does not imply that children are disliked or not wanted. (This differs from how Jean W. Carter and Michael Carter use childless and childfree in "Sweet Grapes.")

The best book for people who can't/don't have kids.
I found this book at a library after purchasing several "infertility" books and books dealing with childlessness.This one has helped me so much more than any others in coming to terms with thefinality of it all.I'm having Amazon.com hunt down a copy of my own. ... Read more

Product Description
Winner, 2007 Rachel Carson Prize given by the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S).

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) makes babies and parents at once. Drawing on science and technology studies, feminist theory, and historical and ethnographic analyses of ART clinics, Charis Thompson explores the intertwining of biological reproduction with the personal, political, and technological meanings of reproduction. She analyzes the "ontological choreography" at ART clinics—the dynamics by which technical, scientific, kinship, gender, emotional, legal, political, financial, and other matters are coordinated—using ethnographic data to address questions usually treated in the abstract. Reproductive technologies, says Thompson, are part of the increasing tendency to turn social problems into biomedical questions and can be used as a lens through which to see the resulting changes in the relations between science and society.

After giving an account of the book's disciplinary roots in science and technology studies and in feminist scholarship on reproduction, Thompson comes to the ethnographic heart of her study. She develops her concept of ontological choreography by examining ART's normalization of "miraculous" technology (including the etiquette of technological sex); gender identity in the assigned roles of mother and father and the conservative nature of gender relations in the clinic; the naturalization of technologically assisted kinship and procreative intent; and patients' pursuit of agency through objectification and technology. Finally, Thompson explores the economies of reproductive technologies, concluding with a speculative and polemical look at the "biomedical mode of reproduction" as a predictor of future relations between science and society. ...

Good information
I read this book when I was new to the process and felt that it provided me with a good foundation for the whole process.

Breaks it down from A to Z
I purchased this book to educate myself about the process of IVF... I wanted to get a medical perspective that was balanced... not overly scientific, yet not dumbed down.I was really pleased with the book and would recommend it to anyone who is considering IVF.It described the process from beginning to end, enabled me to be a more educated consumer and provided me with questions that I could ask my RE.I find myself going back to this book as a reference guide...

Very helpful book
I bought this book shortly before my husband and I made the final decision to go ahead with IVF.We went through IVF at one of the Sher Institutes (in IL) and I found Dr. Sher's book to be very helpful in answering some of questions/worries and even after speaking with the nurses & doctors at the clinic, this book was a great quick reference tool for any questions that I had.

I believe that this book would be helpful for anyone considering and/or going through the IVF process, regardless of what clinic you are having the procedure through.

Although the book doesn't give personal accounts of the IVF process, it does provide very helpful and technical information.I found myself referring to this book more than any of the other IVF books that I purchased.

excellent resource for couples wanting info on ivf
If you want a clear explanation of the process of ivf this is an excellent resource. It avoids personal stories and provides a comprehensive overview of the range of options for assisted reproduction.

Outdated information
I made the mistake of purchasing his older book called The A.R.T. of making babies updated edition. Do not buy unless your doing a research paper. This book was written in 1998 and the information is outdated. Make sure you purchase the 2005 edition. I wish amazon.com would have made this clearer. I did read it anyways and had the bookbeen filled with updated information it could be informative. I found the "Couple's guide to In Vitro Fertilization a much better book. Having recently gone through the procedure it was right on the money and very easy to read and understand. ... Read more

Mildly helpful
Not much info you can't get in an hour from the internet with a high speed connection.
Well written, but that's about it.

Great book - get it.
I've read this book.It was an easy and straight-forward read.I liked the information it gave regarding testosterone injections.It would be most helpful if doctors started updating their knowledge on Male Hormone Therapy.Since reading this book and taking the natural supplement "THOR-Plex," I have been so much better off...I plan to buy a few other books on the subject here at Amazon and read up some more on this fascinating subject.

Thank you, Dr. Wright...
With conventional medicine so bent on testosterone as the "bad guy", bringing declining hormone levels back to healthy levels makes sense.Women have hormone imbalance from estrogen dominance and lack of progesterone production - are we guys exempt?I especially enjoy Dr. Wright's emphasis on natural testosterone supplementation at normal psysiological levels instead of synthetic testosterone at much higher doses with all the side effects.And he has the studies to back him up.Once one understands that pharmaceutical companies cannot patent natural products, then it makes sense why many doctors are not educated in using natural products when appropiate.Dr. Wright's work is timely, relavent, and a fun read.I highly recommend it to any man over 40.

Interesting but without specifics
I found this to be an interesting book on a subject all too frequently overlooked or bypassed as unimportant.The book gives anexcellent overview of concepts, but falls short in recommending any sort of program to improve testosterone levels.Excercise, programs to minimize the effect of SBH, blocking testerone to estrogene conversion etc were touched on but no specifics given.

Excellent
This book helps bridge the gap of ignorance about testosterone and its benifits. Especially natrual testosterone.The notes about the side effects of man made and the benifits of natural are extremely interesting.More men are having simptoms of low testosterone in the early thirties andthis book is a must read for them. Most family doctors do not understandthe importance of the difference between bound and free testosterone. Thisis a good book to have your doctor review. If they won't, change doctors. ... Read more

Product Description
Perfect for the large number of baby boomers who have delayed starting families and are now running against their biological limits, An Empty Lap recounts the struggle of the author, an award-winning former senior writer for Time, and her husband as they attempt to have a child.Amazon.com Review
How do you become a parent? In journalist Jill Smolowe's AnEmpty Lap, the journey to parenthood joins the "coming of age" book asa meaningful description of the passage from one stage of life to another. In her late 30s, Smolowe wanted a baby. Her husband Joe was, at best,ambivalent. An Empty Lap is about physical and emotional journeys: the Smolowes travel through doubts andresistance, fertility treatments, desperation, and depression; fromdoctor's office to doctor's office, vials of sperm in hand, to adoptionagencies; and finally, from New York to China to full parenthood. AnEmpty Lap is well written and moving, but never sappy. And even though weknow the positive outcome from the beginning, the process is both what fascinates and what is important. An Empty Lap is a journey deep into onecouple's relationship. That Smolowe shares their innermost processes withus feels like a gift. ... Read more

Future Mom of Chinese daughter
A very compelling and touching story.As we wait for our China Baby this was helpful to walk through the process of others and give hope that our day will come too.

Extremely Relevant for any prospective adoptive parent
An Empty Lap is not all smiles and hugs, but adoption is a serious and demanding effort, and An Empty Lap gives an honest appraisal of the struggles - and the triumphs - one real world couple experienced when they pursued the path of adoption.

I would encourage anyone considering adoption to read An Empty Lap, and if international adoption is anywhere on your horizon of possibilities, this is clearly a "Must Read" item. While the international adoption scene is constantly shifting, the lessons in An Empty Lap will apply to any international adoption, regardless of the country of origin.

That the author chose to give a real and imperfect face - that of her and her husband - to the challenges of adoption only serves to make An Empty Lap that much more relevant to the real world that you, the prospective parent, will face. Written in an engaging and literate style, you will come away more learned than you began...and much like adoption itself, in the end you get a happy ending.

Very personal, deserves a total read
This is a book that must be read from beginning to end. It starts off kind of hard to take-- two adults seemingly set on pursuing their own goals, almost selfishly, certainly idealistically and wholeheartedly "90s." Why would anyone care? But as the book progresses,it becomes clear that it's really about the openness to love. And when the husband--at first a very reluctant father-- holds his adoptive daughter Becky in his arms and sings to her, the gap closes, the links forge.If you're a parent, imagine your child has been lost-- at a beach, an amusement park, a shopping mall-- wouldn't you put aside your own needs and desires and come together with your partner/spouse to find the child? Wouldn't the child become not only the focus but at that moment--and perhaps many others--the single most important thing in your life? I think maybe that's what happened with this couple, and this book is about their journey to that willingness, that openness-- that love. I dunno, but in my humble opinion (and as a mother), I saw this book to be about...sharing. If they could do it, so could we. I'd like to see a followup. I bet Joe and Jill have never ever looked back. And I bet, too, that Becky is a pretty happy kid.

An Empty Lap - a must for readers interested in process
This book has all of the ingredients for ultimate engagement, as it 's a story about process. Written by an acclaimed journalist, Jill Smolowe writes about her turbulent road of infertility experiences which ultimately leads her and her husband to an overseas adoption. Reared to believe that pregnancy would come easily, Smolowe is blind sighted in her late thirties as she discovers that nature is taking a different course. Determined, and then desperate, to have a baby, Smolowe takes us through her personal, emotional and brutally honest account of trying to get pregnant to coping with depression while in the throes of marital tribulations during the process. Written in page-turning fashion, this book is so intimate that the reader can't help but feel the author is talking to her closest friend. Riveting and compelling, this is a must read for couples who are considering parenthood, and who may not be on the same page with one another of how to get there.I couldn't put it down....

Honest, Real and to the heart of the matter
AN EMPTY LAP is as honest as it is compelling. Gut wrenching from the get go, this book goes to the heart of the infertility matter. It is a painful, awful place to be and Ms. Smolowe has portrayed her path through the infertility mine field with integrity and an honesty that is at once painful and refreshing.

AN EMPTY LAP is also highly readable. I am surprised by the few snarky reviews I've read by a few small minded people. Frankly, I think this kid is fortunate to have parents who are willing and able to engage with the truth.

A must read for any woman battling infertility or anyone considering adoption for any reason.

Product Description
In a society in which most women grow up thinking they will become mothers-and in which many women go to great lengths to make that desire a reality -- not having a child is often met with incredulity and scorn. But as the author of this thoughtful and meticulously researched examination of childlessness points out, childless women are part of an ancient and respectable cultural tradition that includes biblical matriarchs, celibate saints, and nineteenth-century social reformers. Revealing the story of her own decision not to have children, Laurie Lisle draws from history, literature, religion and sociology to challenge the stigma attached to the condition of childlessness-and to offer encouragement and support to those women who have made the difficult decision themselves.

Beginning with the difficult inner journey a woman faces before finally deciding or realizing she will not bear children, Without Child explores the myth of the childless woman's rejection of the maternal instinct. It also explores the childless woman's relationship to mothers and mothering, to her femininity, to men, to achievement, to her body, and to old age.Wide-ranging yet intimate, philosophical, yet clear-sighted, this important book does what no other has done before-presents childlessness in a multifaceted and positive light. ...

A SUPPORTIVE BOOK ON AN IMPORTANT SUBJECT
Laurie Lisle
Without Child:
Challenging the Stigma of Childlessness

(New York: Ballantine Books, 1996) 273 pages

The author's personal struggles with the decision;
historical examples of other non-mothers.
She does not examine the reasons for and against systematically.
But this book could add some depth
for a reader who has read other books about parenthood.

If you want to know some better books, search the Internet for:
"Books Exploring the Decision to Have Children".

Biased
I agree with a lot of the other reviews here; this book is more geared towards the childless than the childfree.There is a huge difference.The term childless applies to anyone who wants a child and cannot have one. The term childfree applies to anyone (straight, gay, or bisexual) who plans not to raise or bear children for a variety of reasons.
If you're looking for a childfree book, this isn't it.

A bit dry but captures the ambivalence
Lisle captures the ambivalence of childlessness for most women.There is so much pressure in society to have children that only a few really independent women are really capable of saying "no, I think I will pass" and not looking back. Many make the decision just as she did, by not really making the decision or by waiting to try so late in life that the chances are low.

Because of the extremely academic style employed by Lisle, this book will not appeal to all.Still, it is thought provoking and really points out all the reasons why it is almost impossible to choose to be childless without regrets.Understanding the sourceand reasons for all of the pressure does help, however.

This makes my brain hurt
I am a highly educated woman, but the language of this book is very hard to grasp.It gives wonderful historical information and facts, which is what the 2 stars are for, but my brain had to translate at least 1 word in every 2 sentences, making reading slow and difficult.

Difficult to get through
Although the historical parts of this book are great, these moments are few and far between.It seemed to me that this entire work was solely the author's attempt to justify why she did not have children.Instead of standing up for her decision she makes it well known throughout the book that she missed her chance(s) to procreate.This book is most likely for women who fall into that catagory and not for the determined childfree. ...

Product Description
In 1996, headlines around the world announced that 63-year-old Arceli Keh had just become the oldest woman in the world to give birth.Dr. Richard Paulson had assisted Mrs. Keh by using a donor egg and in vitro fertilization.This incredible example of how assisted reproductive technologies, or ART, can change the course of nature has raised tough biological, emotional, and ethical issues that will be debated for years to come.

Rewinding Your Biological Clock is a unique exploration of each of these issues, especially the "how to" of peri- and post-menopausal pregnancy.It tells the story of forty-eight-year-old Sarah, a woman who decides to become a mother after she is no longer physiologically capable of conceiving without technological assistance.We learn about her motivations, her fears, and her hopes, and see the hard decisions she must make about the difficult--but ultimately rewarding--process ahead.Alternating with Sarah's story are chapters that explain the medical procedures involved, including a step-by-step guide to the process of egg donation as well as other reproductive technologies.

For any woman at or approaching menopause--with or without children--or anyone curious about the exciting new possibilities for motherhood Rewinding Your Biological Clock is an invaluable guide for becoming a parent late in life. ... Read more

fascinating discussion of conception through donated eggs
This isn't so much a book about "Motherhood Late In Life" as it is about conception using donor eggs.As a 40+ woman pregnant for the first time (through traditional methods), I picked up this book after my first OB visit, thinking it would provide a good overview of some of the issues I might face.At the time, I didn't realize that the book was specifically about ART (assisted reproductive technology) and pregnancies through donated eggs; I assumed it was just about being an older mom.Nonetheless, once I started reading, I couldn't put the book down.It provides much more detail about the biology of conception than do any of the traditional pregnancy books.Juxtaposed with the detailed biology lessons are installments in the story of Sarah & Joe, an older (Sarah is 48; Joe is younger) couple that opts for donor egg use after years of more traditional fertility treaments.In telling the story of Sarah & Joe, the authors address the ethical issues of pregnancy in post-menopausal women in what struck me as a balanced, compassionate, and very thoughtul manner.In the Sarah/Joe story, they discuss the response Sarah & Joe elicit from family members, friends, Sarah's sister, Sarah's adult daughter from a previous relationship.Let's face it -- not everyone is going to be congratulatory & rushing to hold a baby shower for a 50 year old pregnant woman -- or a lesbian or single woman for that matter; nor do all folks embrace the idea of creating an embryo in a test tube rather than accepting whatever God apparently had in mind.And I think it would make a typical adult women a little put off to learn her mother (and her children's grandmother) was using a donor egg to become prenant again.Paulson & Sachs deal with the questions and challenges that women choosing egg donation (or even pregnancy later in life or under other non-traditional circumstances) may face, and their treatment is even-handed -- realistic, not pedantic or preachy, not utopian.I think this would be essential reading for anyone considering assistance in reproduction, especially egg donation.It would also be helpful for the friends and families of women who have elected to use donor eggs.

An important aspect of the donor egg cycle was not discussed
A donor egg cycle may include the medication, Lupron. Weeks of Lupron therapy puts one in a different hormonal state in which one is barely able to function.Nurses call this induced hormonal state, "going under," which includes hot flashes and debilitating headaches. Not addressed in the book are the physical symptoms that occur with supression of one's natural hormones and treatment, if any, of the physical symptoms. Although generally informative, I wonder what other critical information may have been left out.

An instructive book, written with compassion and respect.
An instructive book about assisted reproduction in the postmenoupausal years, written with great compassion and respect for the couples contemplating such a decision.Paulson and Sachs are obviously attuned toall of the emotional and ethical, as well as practical issues, that enterinto such a decision. As a clinical discourse on post-menopausal pregnancyissues it is first rate.As the journey of a fictious woman who must dealwith all of the complexities of making such a decision it is an emotionaland compelling story.

informative, inspirational + hopeful for the prospective mom
This book was written by 2 people. Parts deal with the mechanics of fertility treatment and other parts follow a 48-year-old woman's life as she decides to achieve motherhood.

The writing of the medical aspects offertility is done in a detailed and complete manner. It is an education byitself and can be referred to often by any fertility patient with medicalquestions. (Note: Dr.Paulson is a University professor.)

The portrayal ofthe older would-be mom is very repectful. She has taken care of herself sowell that she is able to run an actual marathon. Why shouldn't she be ableto have a baby? A man in her position can have a baby!

This book givesmen and women a way to achieve some manner of reproductive parity. ... Read more

Infertility affects more than fifty million couples worldwide at some time in their reproductive life span. Although recent advances in infertility treatment have received considerable publicity, in many cases the success rates are low and the cost high.This book proposes a standardized approach to the investigation of infertility.Based on the World Health Organization's investigation of more than 10,000 couples, the authors provide clear guidelines and a logical sequence of steps for the clinical management of infertility so that the most cost-effective investigations are performed in the most reasonable order.They argue that this systematic approach will result in more accurate diagnoses and therefore in more appropriate, effective, and economical treatment. Complete with easy-to-follow diagnostic charts, this book will be an essential reference on infertility management for all clinicians and physicians who treat infertility, gynecologists, reproductive endocrinologists, and andrologists. ...

Outdated and Jaded
This book is a nice overview of various options available to those having difficulty conceiving.Unfortunately, this field changes quickly, and since it's publication it's very outdated.Techniques she discusses are now rarely used because newer/more effective treatments have been established.Also, her slant against fertility treatments (as she admits in the preface)is obvious throughout the book.Finally, the author's understanding of research appears limited.Specifically, she fails to consider that IVF pregnancies are not at higher risk of miscarriage - maternal age is the risk factor.It just so happens that those who receive IVF treatments are generally older. ...

Disappointing
I was very disappointed with this book. The author fails to understand the distinction between donors and parents and frequently refers to the donors as parents. This is not only confusing but misrepresentative. While donors play a very important and special role, their ultimate goal is to help other people parent a child that the couple or individual is desiring and preparing for. It is a very special gift, but should not be confused with parenting. Using this language is confusing for donors, parents and children.

Many Questions Answered
Donor Conception was presented to my husband and me as a possible answer to our infertility. This book was suggested as a way to do a little more research on the topic.

I had no idea that this was such a popular form of infertility treatment. The woman at the bookstore who ordered the book for me- even admitted to me that her daughter was the result of DI. We had a 15 minute conversation and I left the store in shock and surprise.

I still don't have an answer, but I don't think there is a book that could pinpoint every concern with assurance for or against this type of treatment. I enjoyed the book thoroughly and finished within a day's time. I most enjoyed that the majority of the focus was on the children themselves. How the children reacted to learning their origins. I think truth is the most important aspect of any relationship- especially parenting. Children grow up to be adults and deserve the dignity and respect of being told about their origins.

This book focuses mostly on the need for children to be told at an early age and that they should have access to information pertaining to their "biological" fathers or mothers- in case they're interested in establishing a relationship with them as adults. As for me, I'm still on the fence about whether or not this is the path for us.

Making a Bad Situation Worse
Anyone who is interested in reading this book is likely faced with some pretty tough decisions. I would not suggest buying this book. It is written with a very one-sided point of view. The author includes only "proof" that supports her opinions.

donor conception
I found this book the best I had ever read regarding donor conception. It covered so many of the issues that I needed to think about such as why we should tell our children the truth about their conception and what we will need to get for them in the way of information about their donor.
The clinic we went to didn't tell us a fraction of what this book has in it.
It should be a must read for anyone thinking of using donor conception, those of us who have kids and all the doctors, nurses etc who work in the area. ... Read more
