Ovary is written as a journal and you take every detailed step with Lawrence. This is one that will not be for everyone as she is very direct with her feelings that involve foul language which are raw, gritty, and also at times funny. Through her writing, Lawrence made me feel like I personally know her as I went down this difficult and frustrating path she went through to try to become a Mommy. I had no idea there were so many letters in the alphabet and acronyms for infertility...This made me understand more of what some of my friends have gone through in their journeys to become parents. You definitely feel the wide range of emotions Lawrence goes through and you are pulling for her to get her wish of becoming a mommy despite all the hurdles that continually pop up.I had previously purchased the kindle edition, but I was also sent the audible version from the author to listen to. It is narrated by Jennifer Swanepoel who did a brilliant job. She put all the frankness and emotion that Lawrence wrote into her narration.Infertility is a difficult issue and if you are going to write about it, then this is a way to do it. Please note that this is not a faith based journey. For those who have not experienced infertility: READ THIS BOOK! You will actually learn about infertility and gain some insight as you read.Ovary should also make you think twice before you ask a couple if they are going to have children: it is no one else’s business other than the couple. You never know what they are going through whether it is infertility or other issues.Bravo JT Lawrence on a memoir that we all need to read.The Underachieving Ovary is highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Raw, authentic, honest and brilliant. *by K***K on Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2017* If scifi and magic are too woo-woo for you, there’s some non-fiction in Lawrence’s broad oeuvre as well: chronicling her struggles with fertility problems, her hilarious memoir The Under-Achieving Ovary takes her from medical experts to witch doctors and beyond, in her quest to become a mother. With a generous dose of humour, this book is a sucker punch to the uterus and as raw and honest a memoir as they come. "Instead he recommended I douche with bicarb. I was, like, do what with what-what? I have never douched in my life. I thought douching had gone the way of trepanning and toothbrush moustaches. I thought the last people to douche were promiscuous French women in the 1800s. I thought only people with a severe form of OCD would even consider douching nowadays. I may have been living a very sheltered life, now that I think of all the period-sex and douching I could have been doing these last 31 years. This infertility business is crap, but at least I am learning things." But, seriously, I thought he was kidding. It sounded like an old wives tale that I have absolutely no interest in trying. He said the alkalinity of the bicarb should neutralise the acidity of the CM, creating a less hazardous playground for the swimmers. Those poor guys. I know I can’t subject them to another genocide. I don’t want to be the fertility version of Idi Amin. It looks like I have no choice but to try it. – The Under Achieving OvaryThat honesty is something that sets Lawrence apart. Her obvious love of words and dedication to fitting the right ones together, coupled with her keen observation of human character, is a refreshing change from the over-workshopped and self-indulgent drivel being churned out by creative writing courses in New York that have saturated the market in the past five years. It’s yet another reason to read outside of the tired US/UK market, and pick up a local author. Especially now that South African authors are gaining more recognition in local stores. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars The Underachieving Ovary *by W***T on Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2017* Having lost two babies myself this book was especially interesting and illuminating. I wish it had been written 40 years ago. It proves that the best thing in the world can happen even when you think it could not. I ended up with two healthy babies and now have 5 grandchildren from them. My heart goes out to the families that are struggling. I hope they have success in their process. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/99034450-the-underachieving-ovary-a-hilarious-and-heartbreaking-infertility-memoir-about](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/99034450-the-underachieving-ovary-a-hilarious-and-heartbreaking-infertility-memoir-about) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
