“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

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

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.
