IVF Book on Infertility, Miscarriage & Fertility Gets TOP REVIEWS : In Vitro Fertility Goddess

Reviews

"It's so funny…it has it all there in a very light hearted way. It's great!"

Dr Penny Adams, Mornings with Kerri-Anne, Channel 9

"In Vitro Fertility Goddess takes the indignities and disappointments of infertility and turns them into a touching, achingly funny journey into eventual motherhood. This is much more than a story of baby-making. It's a biting social commentary on the agonising process of IVF. Jodi has not only produced a bitingly honest account of infertility - but a page-turning, laugh-aloud adventure story."

Fran Kelly, Presenter, ABC Radio National ‘Breakfast'

"Jodi takes her ordeal with fertility problems and turns her journey into one of humor and insightful wit, transforming her experience into a book that is helping many others through this gloomy time in their lives by putting smiles on their faces and laughter in their hearts."

Barbara Winters, Journeys to Motherhood

"When infertility strikes it's never a laughing matter, but this author has been able to turn her story about trying to have a baby into a hilarious yet touching book. A great read for all moms and moms-to-be."

Genevieve Quigley, Deputy Editor, Mother and Baby Magazine

"In Vitro Fertility Goddess is a book that is explicit, entertaining, enlightening and much more than a memoir about one couple's determination to have a baby. It is in fact a love story, an adventure and a mystery. And just as their little girl was the gift the Panayotov's craved, In Vitro Fertility Goddess is another gift, one with a message for existing parents and, most importantly, the hopeful ones making their own difficult journey."

"You wouldn't think infertility is a laughing matter, much less miscarriage or the emotional rollercoaster of IVF treatment…Jodi Panayotov has managed to find the absurdities in the long and winding quest to parenthood…a very funny read."

Richard Aedy, Presenter Life Matters ABC Radio National

"Infertility and IVF aren't generally laughing matters, but Jodi Panayotov's Bridget Jones-style account of her IVF journey may just have you in stitches."

Cosmopolitan Pregnancy

"…you have written a heart-warming, a fantastic book…Jodi you're clearly a spunky woman!"

Alex Sloan, Presenter Mornings, ABC 666 Canberra

"In Vitro Fertility Goddess has much going for it. Taking a leaf out of Bridget Jones Diary, it is at times laugh out loud funny…And like Bridget Jones, it promises and delivers an insight into those women whose circumstances rather than choices have derailed their lives from conventional female paths."

Dr Leslie Cannold, Spectrum, Sydney Morning Herald

"…a very funny, hilarious book. I would recommend it to anyone having fertility problems or even contemplating having a family. It's really a great read!"

Alex Bernard, Presenter Afternoons, 4BC Radio

"…the book detailing her journey is not all doom and gloom - quite the opposite. Written in a Bridget Jones' Diary style with a similar amount of charm and wit, In Vitro Fertility Goddess offers many chuckles and irreverent humour a la Wendy Harmer or Kathy Lette. There are also the expected moving moments when Jodi lays herself emotionally bare."

Vicki Englund, Australian Parents Magazine - Full Review here »

"….In Vitro Fertility Goddess is a bit derivative of Bridget Jones….it's written in an easygoing style with the rigours of the IVF process, emotional ups and downs and even the 'gory bits' handled with considerable panache and, most importantly with humour."

Sally Bird, Literary Agent, Calidris Literary Agency - Full Review here »

"Australia's answer to Bridget Jones, with a twist and a few hilarious turns on the road to motherhood."

Gail Boserio, Books Editor, ABC Radio National ‘Breakfast'

"…it's such an important book on a topic that is rarely discussed so candidly…A raw, honest approach to what has been a taboo subject…Jodi's fabulous sense of humour makes it an unforgettable read!"

Greer Skinner, Practical Parenting Magazine

"…the value of this book is found in the argument it gives for more understanding of the intense emotional undulations that couples who want to be parents - not just women who want to be get pregnant - go through. If you can laugh about it, in your better moments , it may make the waiting a little more bearable….a very funny book."

Christopher Bantick, Social Commentator & Writer

"I am convinced In Vitro Fertility Goddess can help couples out there dealing with fertility issues. It's entertaining and can make you laugh…a cross between Sex in the City and Bridget Jones…this could be a book for you to help relieve the stress you may be experiencing from dealing with fertility issues."
