Parenting/Adolescence

After 18 months of trying to get pregnant without success, Genevieve Morton was told over and over to just relax! But she couldn't.

She scoured fertility books hoping one would make her feel better about herself or at least less alone. But they made her feel worse. Sure, they all told her how to pinpoint ovulation and analyse her cervical mucus (ew!). But none of them could help her cope with the Smug Fertility Goddesses parading their bulging pregnant bellies around the office or pesky relatives asked 'Anything yet?' as if she was waiting for the baby she bought on eBay to arrive.

The everyday stresses of living with unexplained infertility made conceiving even harder. Determined to get her life back on track -- and stop nagging her husband over his tight undies and fourth beer -- Genevieve set about writing a fun and honest A-Z guide to coping with everyday life while trying to conceive. Bump & Grind was born. And she got pregnant along the way.

This is the complete survival guide for every woman wondering if her sex life will ever be the same, what fertility-friendly super foods to eat, how to cope with disappointments and loss -- or just keep turning up to work -- when to dodge annoying questions from inquiring rellies and, of course, how to get pregnant.
