Your Fertile Years

Joyce Harper’s book fills an important gap to help understanding. * Professor Robert Winston *Essential reading. * Professor Kypros Nicolaides *“If you want to know anything about female fertility and women’s health, just ask Joyce Harper! A force of nature, role model to women everywhere and a complete inspiration to me.” * Jessica Hepburn, Founder of Fertility Fest, author of ‘21 Miles’ and ‘The Pursuit of Motherhood’, first woman to complete the Pond to Peak challenge *“Professor Harper is a shining light in a murky fertility landscape. Her [scientific] knowledge makes her best placed to offer clarity for any woman struggling with the hormonal balance that we all endure. Had this book been available to me in my 30s I would have lapped it up.” * Hannah Vaughan-Jones, CNN newsreader *A superbly crafted and up-to-date ‘must read’ * Catherine Racowsky, PhD, Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, Harvard Medical School *A woman with an authentic voice, never afraid to tell people how it is, Joyce has all the ingredients to make this a much needed read in 2021 and beyond… There have been plenty of books written about women and reproduction, but none will be as informative as this one. * Shelley Silas, Playwright *This work is so important, and I can think of no-one better suited to ensure that we are all equipped to make more informed choices about our fertility than Joyce. I only wish that I had met her years ago! * Sarah Esdaile, Theatre and TV Director (‘Eastenders’) *
