“Melanie Dale has written a book that I wish I had nine years ago when I was wallowing in the depths of infertility while my über-fertile friends made babies with gumball machine efficiency. I would’ve given my left ovary (I said, “It looks like the Death Star!” during my ultrasound) to have had this book, or a friend like her, at that time. If you’re going through infertility, read this book and take heart. There are lots of us out there who have felt like you do now, and Melanie put it all on paper. With lots of amazing Nerd references, both the candy and pop-culture types.”

“Infreakinfertility is a book I wish I would have had when I was in the trenches of infertility. Melanie shares her journey through infertility with the perfect combination of vulnerability, humor, and practical advice. She gives us an authentic glimpse of what it is like to walk this difficult road and guidance to keep taking the next step forward.”

“This is your “I’m not the only one” and “this stinks for everyone” book. If you are dealing with infertility this book will be a confirmation that you are not alone, or crazy. If you know someone dealing with infertility, read this so you can know how to be the perfect friend, not “that” friend. Everyone will be better off for it.”
Jerralea Miller
Blogger, ministry assistant, mother of three who walked through ten years of infertility, and now MiMi of three. Tamms, Illinois.
“If you are struggling with infertility and think no one understands, think again. Melanie and her husband relate their story in a humorous and understanding way. You will definitely not feel alone after reading their story!”
Leah Kelton
Photographer & graphic designer at Whispers of Light Photography & Design, author in the making who blogs at www.godkindled.com, and ecstatic mother-to-be (FINALLY!). Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom.
“Melanie has done it again! When I was knee deep in my fertility journey and read It’s Not Fair, I had no idea it would affect me so profoundly and change the shape of my journey through infertility simply by making me feel seen and validated in my pain. If It’s Not Fair did that, Infreakinfertility carries on in that spirit but hits with even more precision. With her No-Holds-Barred approach, Melanie touches on every aspect of surviving the devastation of infertility, from the emotional/spiritual side, to the relational side, to the physical/medical side, to sex! And all while making me laugh out loud. I’m so grateful!”
Jennifer Weston
Wife, chemist, photographer, cat lover, Diet Coke drinker, and loving life with no children. Julian, Pennsylvania.
“Melanie brings empathy (and at times hilarity) to a desperately rough experience. If you are going through infertility, Infreakinfertility will help you realize you are not alone and what you are feeling is normal. This book is a must read for anyone whose life has been touched, directly or indirectly, by infertility.”
