Will there be light at the end of the birth canal? Does the word ‘endometriosis’ make you want to stick a fork in your eye? No? Then perhaps this book isn’t for you. It’s funny, and (sometimes alarmingly) frank. It contains an impressive array of synonyms for ‘vagina’ and it’s certainly NSFW. It’s about having a devil womb and a hot knife lodged in a shoulder. It’s about becoming blackly bitter and twisted in infertility, then slowly finding a way to untwist. It’s part memoir, part dark comedy, wrapped up loosely as a journal full of TMI and quirk. Put it this way If Helen Fielding and Marian Keyes were to go through IVF, and use Caitlin Moran as a surrogate, this book would be their baby.

The Underachieving Ovary J T Lawrence 9780620716734 Books Reviews
- This is JT Lawrence’s candid memoir dealing with her infertility journey. Ovary is written as a journal and you take every detailed step with Lawrence. This is one that will not be for everyone as she is very direct with her feelings that involve foul language which are raw, gritty, and also at times funny. Through her writing, Lawrence made me feel like I personally know her as I went down this difficult and frustrating path she went through to try to become a Mommy. I had no idea there were so many letters in the alphabet and acronyms for infertility...
This made me understand more of what some of my friends have gone through in their journeys to become parents. You definitely feel the wide range of emotions Lawrence goes through and you are pulling for her to get her wish of becoming a mommy despite all the hurdles that continually pop up.
I had previously purchased the kindle edition, but I was also sent the audible version from the author to listen to. It is narrated by Jennifer Swanepoel who did a brilliant job. She put all the frankness and emotion that Lawrence wrote into her narration.
Infertility is a difficult issue and if you are going to write about it, then this is a way to do it. Please note that this is not a faith based journey. For those who have not experienced infertility READ THIS BOOK! You will actually learn about infertility and gain some insight as you read.
Ovary should also make you think twice before you ask a couple if they are going to have children it is no one else’s business other than the couple. You never know what they are going through whether it is infertility or other issues.
Bravo JT Lawrence on a memoir that we all need to read.
The Underachieving Ovary is highly recommended. - WOW, while reading this one, I learned so much, and I have to say, every woman, especially Janita, who has gone through this has become my hero.
This is an alarmingly frank and incredibly funny memoir of JT Lawrence as they go through the process of trying to get pregnant.
It had me in stitches and gasping for air, laughing at how frank she was about some of the things that she was going through, while at other times I was grabbing for tissues and chocolates, to help heal my breaking heart.
She has a way of pulling you in, making you as invested in her getting pregnant as she was. I was rooting for them to succeed.
This is definitely going at the top of my list for favourite reads this year. - *possible spoiler alert*
A rainy evening curled up on the couch, a hot cup of coffee (well actually 3 cups in total), and me sucked into the world of the underachieving ovary navigating the terminology and jargon which include, TTCers trying to establish texture of the CM!
There's the "devil womb" and relationship anecdotes with the BFG and Crackers Counsellor... oh, and the fab Dr G!
The "turkey baster" moments! The "stimming" procedure... and intermittent laughter ringing through the quiet house...rivalled only by the raindrops on the awning.
Angry VJJs and the up-and-down emotions between BFN and BFP.
"Punani grotto" OMG! ROTFL
The endearment of "Breakfast Burrito" (there's also Stink Fruit/sproglet/ cantaloupe and sea monkey) as things fall into place...and finally the triumphant Tag Team!
Thank you for sharing this journey with your readers.
I'm looking forward to your next non-fiction book. - I have just finished ‘The Underachieving Ovary’. I pretty much read non-stop for hours, despite a rather big deadline on the horizon. I just couldn’t put it down. What a book!! It was devastating but wonderful, so much hope and joy at the end. Highly recommended!
- Having lost two babies myself this book was especially interesting and illuminating. I wish it had been written 40 years ago. It proves that the best thing in the world can happen even when you think it could not. I ended up with two healthy babies and now have 5 grandchildren from them. My heart goes out to the families that are struggling. I hope they have success in their process.
- I really enjoyed this book.humourous and at times heart-wrenching personal journey through trying to get pregnant while battling infertility.It is a book I would recommend for anyone either experiencing infertility or who knows someone going through it.
- For sharing your journey with infertility. I started looking for a book to read as an attempt to relax after my first IUI. I started looking at Michelle Obama's book on , then perused the "you might also like" section and somehow got to this book. It has been like having a friend who knows my pain.
- This book is written in a diary form, I loved it. For me it felt like a very honest approach to a problem most don't want to talk about. It had me laughing and crying at the same time, I totally recommend it
