Sweet Grapes

How to Stop Being Infertile and Start Living Again

A discussion of communication and decision making that empowers couples to take back control of their lives, this book was also the first to consider at length the positive option of childfree living after infertility!

Jean Carter is herself an ob/gyn, delivering other people’s babies! Mike is a college English professor. Together they figured out a way to pull themselves out of the pit of infertility, re-evaluate, and embrace a joy-filled life without children. They share that communication method, and their reasoning and resources, with other infertile couples who are feeling “out of options” in Sweet Grapes

Over the years, though, our infertile couple clients have often asked about the staying power of the Carters’ decision. Do they have regrets? Aren’t they sorry that they didn’t adopt or go into more high tech treatment? They updated the book ten years after their original edition, 15 years into living childfree. You’ll find wisdom and support in their answers!
