ABOUT UNSPOKEN

For too long, infertility has been endured in silence—the unspoken grief, the invisible weight, the crushing isolation. Infertility is more than a physical struggle; it’s an emotional and mental battle that reshapes your future, your relationships, and the way you see yourself.

That silence ends here.

In Unspoken, award-winning storyteller and advocate Cheryl Dowling gives voice to the millions who have felt unheard—and captures what so many find impossible to put into words. With raw honesty and unfiltered truth, she pulls back the curtain on the buried pain, the quiet suffering, and the relentless cycle of hope and heartbreak.

More than a book, Unspoken is a voice for those who have carried this struggle in silence. A powerful reminder that your pain is real, your story matters, and no matter how isolating this journey feels, you are never truly alone.

Praise for UNSPOKEN: THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF INFERTILITY

  • "Cheryl’s warm, approachable voice—always rooted in equal parts science and compassion—will help so many. With Unspoken, the emotional and physical challenges that she experienced while navigating infertility, IVF, and loss have become a force for good in the world. We are all better off thanks to her speaking to us, and for us."

    Liz Plosser, former Editor-in-Chief of Women’s Health and founder of Best Case Scenario Wellness Community

  • “Unspoken is a culmination of long overdue conversations, in which many women will finally feel seen and heard.”

    Sarah Sinclair, Freelance Journalist & Editor, Femtech World

  • “As both a fertility doctor and a patient, I’ve felt the ache of unanswered questions, the weight of hope and heartbreak. Infertility is a silent grief, often carried behind closed doors. But Unspoken brings light to the darkness. It reminds us we’re not alone, that our pain matters, and that healing begins when we feel seen. This book isn’t just brave—it’s life-giving."

    Dr. Roohi Jeelani, MD, FACOG, Double Board-Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist & Fertility Advocate

  • "I have never felt more understood in the world of infertility than I have when reading this book. It says all the things we are thinking but do not want to say."

    Victoria, UK

  • "It lays bare the raw truth of infertility — the physical toll, the financial strain, and most of all the emotional weight. It honors the quiet resilience women carry as they continue to hope and fight for their families."

    Gabriela Peytchev, WOVA Health

  • "This is not just another book lined with facts and tips and cliche stories. It is real talk that is educational, relatable, and comforting."

    Geoffrey, USA

  • "A beautifully written book that captures the raw, emotional journey of infertility with honesty and grace. A must-read for anyone navigating IVF or supporting someone who is."

    Isabelle, Canada

  • "The type of book I will read again at different stages to validate my feelings and emotions."

    Aimee, UK

  • "Page after page I found myself nodding, crying, and breathing a little easier knowing I am not alone in this."

    Talia, USA

  • "It puts into words everything that I feel but can't even begin to express myself."

No one warns you how infertility will change you. No one prepares you for the silence, the unspoken grief, the invisible weight, the crushing isolation. No one tells you how much strength it takes to carry a pain the world refuses to see.

I wrote UNSPOKEN to give voice to the millions who have felt unheard and alone in their struggle. This is the book I needed. This is the book I hope will help you feel seen, validated, and less alone.
