Customer Reviews

Great Guide to anyone working through infertility

After 6 years of trying to start a family we purchased this book. Two years later we managed to conceive, however we lost the baby at 8 weeks. Although we are lost at the moment we will try again.This book helped us to conceive. It's also helping us with our miscarriage. I have shared this book with others and they have all found it helpful. We have purchased other titles, however non-compare. It is easy to read and understand. Definitely recommend this to anyone trying to understand their infertility and options.

THIS BOOK IS MY BIBLE!

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CONCIEVE FOR 13 MONTHS AND UNDERGOING FERTILITY TREATMENT. THIS BOOK HAS ANSWERED ANY QUESTION I'VE HAD FROM THE BEGINNING. IT IS ALSO A GREAT SOURCE OF COMFORT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! EXCELLENT BOOK!

An excellent resource for the"average person"

I was very pleased with all the information and how it was presented in the book. I knew absolutely nothing about the steps that were needed to achieve pregnancy at my age of 43.Dr. Marrs was excellent in explaining my options and what the side effects could be. I would definitely recommend to anyone trying to start a family and want information!

The best reference book for couples undergoing IF treatment!

Dr. Richard Marrs' book is the most wonderful purchase I've made in a long-time. I have several "fertility" related books, and this book is the most "dog-eared" of the lot. He has a great conversational style, and he explains the "theory" behind the treatments. That way as new techniques are developed, it's easy for the informed patient to understand why treatment plans change because the fundamentals are so well understood. Highly recommended reference book for all IF patients!

an outstanding and up-to-date resource

What an exceptional book. This is clearly the most recent resource out there for those struggling with infertility. It is written in plain english and is well-organized. I found the glossaries at the end of each chapter and the end of the book invaluable. The level of detail is exceptional. This book covers material that most others leave out. Most importantly it is UP-TO-DATE. In an area that is changing so quickly, a three-year-old book is out of date. Dr. Marrs and his co-authors have done a real service to todays fertility patients.
