Meet Woody. Former journalist. Die-hard Oasis fan. High energy. Low
sperm count. Training to be a vicar. Obviously. Matt Woodcock's
frank, funny real-life diaries reveal what it was like for him to
train as a vicar while struggling against all odds to become a
father. In them he lays bare his joys and struggles as he attempts
to reconcile his calling as a vicar with his life as a party-loving
journalist, footie-freak and incorrigible extrovert. Becoming
Reverend is a compelling and original account of how faith can work
in the midst of a messy life, combining family, fertility, faith
and friendship with the story of a divine - but unlikely - calling.

Few recent technologies have attracted as much attention as In
Vitro Fertilization (IVF), a technique in which ova are fertilized
in a glass dish and transferred to the prospective mother. Despite
a large body of literature and much recent publicity on the ethics
of new re-productive technologies, however, we are far from
understanding what actually goes on in the nation's 138 in vitro
fertilization centers, and even farther from possessing a clear
public policy regarding this controversial technology. In this book
the author examines two different, and often opposing worlds of in
vitro fertilization: the public's political, legal and ethical
concerns surrounding the technique, and the personal, pragmatic
world of the individual patients who come to the centers seeding a
cure for infertility. The crux of this analysis revolves around the
intersection, and sometimes the antagonism, between these two
worlds. While use of the centers is growing extremely fast, there
is an absence of any federal-level policy to monitor this
technique. To fill this vacuum, individual practitioners of IVF and
other new reproductive technologies. The author investigates the
current effects of these guidelines in interviews with physicians,
scientists, policy makers, and patients at IVF centers, and argues
that in this case, the public policy we implement should take its
direction from the self-regulation that is already occurring on a
local level and which is so well-developed that it has in effect
taken the place of a formal federal policy. For all those
interested in, or contemplating the rapidly growing field of in
vitro fertilization, this is an objective analysis which answers
many perplexing questions.
Pippa Vosper tragically lost her son Axel in 2017, when she was
five months pregnant, and has since written about miscarriage and
baby loss online and in a series of pieces for Vogue. Beyond Grief:
Navigating the Journey of Pregnancy and Baby Loss is the book she
wishes had been available when her son died. It covers every aspect
of pregnancy and baby loss at any stage, from the practical to the
emotional, with advice from experts and stories from women who have
experienced losses of their own. Beyond Grief offers both an
inclusive perspective and a guiding hand to anyone who has
experienced any kind of baby loss, as well as those who are trying
to support them through it.
Fertility is one of the major health and wellbeing issues for
modern women, and Emma Cannon's Total Fertility offers clear, warm
and supportive advice to help you on your own unique fertility
journey. This book will help you get pregnant now, whether you are
going for natural or assisted conception, and also focus on
fertility preservation to help you stay fertile longer so you can
get pregnant in the future. Emma Cannon answers the many nagging
questions women have about fertility and conception; questions such
as: How can I get a sense of my fertility? Can I preserve my
fertility? When exactly should we be having sex? Does my diet
really matter? Does stress lower my chances of conceiving? What
exercise should I be doing? Reducing stress and approaching
fertility with a calm and positive attitude is central to her
approach to getting pregnant, so Emma also helps you develop a
'fertile mindset' with a toolbox of simple suggestions to cultivate
emotional wellness for your particular fertility 'type'. Written in
Emma's trademark optimistic, warm and non-judgmental tone, Total
Fertility is a book for anyone who is thinking - or has ever
thought of - getting pregnant.

fields of in vitro fertilization, endometriois, uterine and ovarian
transplantation, recurrent pregnancy loss, and preterm delivery.
Novel evidence-based approaches to advance the field are discussed,
including in vitro molecular approaches, translational studies, as
well as those that may immediately be considered for use at the
bedside to improve reproductive outcomes.
