Nicole Klieff
Baby Next Time is based on a true-life account of a woman's discovery of infertility at the age of 35. This is a compelling rollercoaster insight to the world of IVF exposing treatments and emotions over a nine year span. Written with humour on such a dark and taboo subject of miscarriage and infertility this honest account is directed to the many across the world in a similar predicament. The book is written in the hope that people will pursue to seek out the reasons for the most common complaint of "unexplained infertility".
Born in London Nicole Klieff is a first time writer. She was encouraged to put pen to paper by being inspired by her own personal experience of having undergone IVF treatment in a bid for a much longed baby. Due to the lack of information being readily available with a personal viewpoint she decided to write her own emotional story.

It was a very trying time, sitting in traffic facing the latest ‘baby on board’ sign, travelling back and forth through London to be pierced by a needle, sitting in waiting rooms, which of course included seeing very pregnant women, collecting bruises, losing money and ensuring that I would be relaxed enough when home to connect with the right temperature reading and catch a swimming sperm having swallowed the Clomid pills.
Side effects were another issue I was uncomfortable with but was assured that nothing too untoward would happen. I took Clomid for around a year and after abandoning it, I remember turning on the car radio and hearing that after prolonged use, this could be associated with an increased risk for ovarian cancer. Apparently they are still researching this! The desire to have a child was even stronger by then and it was too late to query the dangers.
After a good year or so of this course of medication ‘it weren’t working’ - changes were needed.
