The next 336 hours will be tough. No, the next 336 hours will be really
tough…
I feel like an Olympian, waiting to see whether the years of hard work,
sacrifice and dedication are finally going to pay off, or whether my body is
about to fail me at the last hurdle and make me wonder why I ever hoped I could
win.
My best friend is pregnant, my single friends are planning their
pregnancies and, after five long years of tests and investigations, I’m coming
to the end of my third – and supposedly final – IVF treatment. There are 336
hours to survive before I’ll know if I get to join the motherhood club. That’s 224 waking hours of pure psychological torture. 112 sleeping hours to stare at
the ceiling and wonder, what the hell am I going to do with my life if it turns
out I can’t have kids?
Based on the author’s true life experiences, 336 Hours is a
humorous and poignant diary about one woman’s quest to be a mother.
Extract:
They should have IVF farms for women like me to book
into at times like these; pretty padded cells with flat-screen TVs and row upon
row of feel-good DVDs and relaxation CDs, and beautiful gardens and luxury
bathrooms with hot taps that would never heat up to embryo boiling
temperatures, and gigantic rocking chairs so that we could legitimately sit and
rock ourselves backwards and forwards for hours on end without looking
completely crazy in the process.

RACHEL CATHAN is a writer from
Bedfordshire. In 2001, a mutual friend introduced her to a part-time pub DJ in Southend-on-Sea . A month later, they had moved in
together, around seven years later they tied the knot, and a little while after
that – just like so many couples before them – they made the exciting and
terrifying decision to start a family. And then, like a growing number of
couples today, well...not a lot happened.
Throughout the subsequent years of
fertility investigations and failed treatments, Rachel kept a diary of her
experiences, and it’s from these first- hand encounters in the world of
infertility and IVF that her first book, 336 Hours has been adapted.
