I can't imagine a fiercer group of women on the planet than those women who endure infertility.
Infertility Success, Stories of Help and Hope for Your Journey includes stories from 19 women across the USA and South Africa. These women are entrepreneurs, nurses, writers, actresses, personal trainers, activist, and doctors. Their stories cover a spectrum of reproductive issues (endometriosis, uterine fibroids, PCOS, thyroid disease, MTHFR, factor 5 Leiden, and low ovarian reserve).
Their path to the family of their dreams is very different. Some used reproductive medicine, NaPro technology or Traditional Chinese Medicine. Other's made big or small diet or lifestyle changes, until the outcome they desired became a reality.
It's also a cautionary tale of self advocacy in the world of reproductive medicine. Many authors endured misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis, heart-ache and lose. Many of them beat impossible odds.
They. ALL. Persisted.
Now every one of them wants to spare you from another wasted cycle, and more wasted time, money and effort. Every one of the authors wrote their story for you. The one reader they could help. And if it was only you? They still would have written it. Because of this, each chapter includes "Tip" sections for your journey so it is easy for you to take action and continue moving forward and a way to personally connect with each author. We're here for you and, we're all voting your victory.

Author Biography:
Erica Hoke is the infertile mother of 4 boys, all born to her as a "geriatric" pregnant lady. After struggling for years with undiagnosed endometriosis, uterine fibroids, PCOS, thyroid disease, factor 5 Leiden and MTHFR, unable to participate in traditional IUI or IVF methods, she was able to get to the bottom of her infertility issues via continual changes to her diet and lifestyle. Now she fiercely shares her story and the stories of others as a means to give hope to those still on the path to creating the family of their dreams. Dissatisfied with the way reproductive endocrinology (REI) medicine handles common infertility issues, Erica is determined to disrupt the entire reproductive medical system. Empowering infertility patients by creating a standard of care and testing path through which to collaborate and coordinate with their doctors has become her mission. This approach allows the patients to systematically address and remove all obstacles before pursuing invasive and expensive IUI and IVF treatments. Erica mentors clients through the infertility process via a free support group, group coaching, courses to address diet, toxins and lifestyle that affect infertility, and one on one coaching.
