UNSPOKEN
The Unbearable Weight of Infertility
Coming June 3, 2025
ABOUT THE BOOK
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.

“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
A Message from The IVF Warrior founder, Cheryl Dowling
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.
Infertility isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, mental, and deeply personal. It’s a relentless cycle of hope and heartbreak. It reshapes your future, your relationships, and the version of yourself you once knew.
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.
