by Gitanjali Banerjee

HarperCollins India is delighted to announce the publication of the first ever guide on fertility treatment in the Indian context, containing accounts from doctors, clinics and patients – Gitanjali Banerjee’s How to Get Pregnant with IVF: A Practical Guide to Fertility Treatments. Given that infertility, often stigmatised and not spoken about, is more common than we think, this book is for those dealing with delayed pregnancy and is a much-needed step-wise guide for those considering IVF. Written by journalist and founder of Fertility Dost – an online community for people struggling with infertility – Gitanjali Banerjee, this book is unique in that it is from an insider’s perspective as the author herself went through five miscarriages over a span of ten years before she got pregnant through IVF. How to Get Pregnant with IVF: A Practical Guide to Fertility Treatments offers aspiring parents an honest account of what it means to be diagnosed as infertile, the many tests and their results, and roadblocks of the fertility process. As informative as it is empathetic, this definitive guide will light the way for anyone planning for IVF treatments in India.

Talking about the book, Gitanjali Banerjee says, ‘I wore my heart on my sleeves while writing this book. It is an honest attempt to stand by your side in your infertility struggles by breaking down the journey for you with my personal anecdotes, experiences of other couples and thoughts from doctors to bridge the gaps and connect the dots. With this book by your side I can promise that you will never feel alone or lost in this journey.’

ABOUT THE BOOK

‘When are you giving us the good news?’

For couples trying to conceive, this is an especially difficult question because the answer is complicated and can test even the best of us.

In India, nearly 27.5 million couples battle infertility daily. Couples embarking on fertility treatments go in buoyed by positive stories but are seldom prepared for the grueling mental, physical and financial challenges that lie ahead.
