Customer Reviews

Information and empathy all in one

Dr. Silber perfectly matches science and empathy in this book. For someone who tried unsuccessfully for years to get pregnant this book was a lifesaver. It answered questions and provided information in a format that was easy to read. It's great!

An excellent resource

This book is excellent. I am a physician specializing in infertility. I have been recommending Dr Silber's earlier books to my patients for many years. This new edition has been thoroughly updated with many new sections. It covers all aspects of infertility; causes, issues and treatment options. It is written in a clear easy-to-read style for a general readership, yet remains medically and scientifically accurate. A great resource.

Essential Reading

For anyone trying to get pregnant... and having difficulty, this book is a must. Dr. Silber gives a very clear presentation of the methods available, both natural and medical to help us conceive.

well written and every word true!

i read several other books on infertility and this one was my favorite. i read it front to back and totally understood it.In fact i liked it so much i decided to see him and i did and he's a wonderful doctor and he is why i'm 5 months pregnant with twins. A must have for anyone going through infertility and is considering invitro. lets you know what to expect.

Very accurate and factual, corrects misinformation.

This book was the most accurate of the 3 I read. The most important information dealt with exact timing of intercourse (or IUIs) in order to conceive. Some of the information I had earlier was wrong, which actually could have prevented conception!
