Testimonies

For many women around the world, there is only one thing missing for Dr Marisa López- Teijón to be a superheroine: the cape. Because among her powers she has the life-giving one, no less no more.

I simply want to say that it can be done, because only what you do not try is impossible and I want to get pregnant now! has helped me win the battle.
Susanne
I feel obliged to write these lines to send a message of hope. I still remember myself reading day after day the blog of Dr López- Teijón and the testimonies from other people who had succeeded in having a baby. I needed it, it gave me hope and it moved me to think that, some day, I could succeed too. All those who have had to fight this battle know that it is too long and hard. In our case, BEING POSITIVE, PATIENT AND BEING CONVINCED THAT WE WOULD SUCCEED proved to be essential. This book has helped us a lot to get there.

From our own experience I have to give in that getting to the IVF process is something hard, not only psychologically but also because of moral, ethical and religious issues. We should be well aware that each individual has free will but through the chapters of this book, many doubts are clarified. I would also like to tell people to take up this new challenge with enthusiasm and determination.
Rose & Edward
I would like to thank you for the sincerity you use in the book. There are no taboos and it sticks to reality by using data based on percentages of real individuals. The mix of the three personal stories together with the more “technical” information (also perfectly understandable by everybody) makes the reading very easy. People who have been through an IVF treatment have, thanks to this book, much more information and common doubts are clearly explained. Furthermore, false myths about IVF are exposed.
Discover it
Dedicated to women who fight with all their love for the dream of having a child and to the professionals that make it possible.
I want this book to be the embrace of energy and affection that comforts us in each of our moments of despair.
