If You’re Having Trouble Conceiving...
 
…you are not alone. One out of ten American couples experiences problems with infertility. If you’re among this group, you’ve already felt the deep disappointment and emotional distress that accompany the diagnosis of infertility. But, indeed there is hope, especially in light of advances in assisted reproductive technologies.
 
Authors C. Maud Doherty, M.D., and Melanie Morrissey Clark understand what you’re going through and the kinds of pressing questions you have about fertility treatment. Dr. Doherty is a reproductive endocrinologist who has treated thousands of couples. Melanie Morrissey Clark is a former patient—now the mother of triplets. The Fertility Handbook will help you navigate this confusing time and consider which treatment options are bests for you. Among the topics covered:
 
      •  Understanding the causes of female and male infertility
      •  Getting a diagnosis
      •  Coping emotionally
      •  Choosing a fertility specialist
      •  Exploring standard treatment options
      •  Utilizing the new assisted reproductive technologies (ART)
      •  Taking advantage of advances in treating male factor infertility
      •  Determining how long to continue treatment

2.0 out of 5 stars Ok

I thought this book was ok. The book Taking Charge of Your Fertility I ended up buying after this book and I thought that book was a lot more helpful. I would say go with the other book over this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly, thoroughly worthless
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2005
There are a lot of infertility books out there. Most of them repeat the same information over and over again. This is one of the more worthless specimens of this latter sort. If you haven't read a single infertility book, then you might find something of value in this book. (But I would get it -- or something similar to it -- from the library if I were you.) If you've already done some reading, then skip this one -- there's nothing new in it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Waste Your Money!
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2002
There are some fantastic books on fertility on the market. This one isn't even remotely close. The Fertility Handbook tries to do it all in 135 pages and sadly, ends up doing very little. This little book attempts to cover everything from emotional concerns to all of the causes and treatments of infertility and causes of & living after miscarriage.
What happens is this: important topics get watered down, and so simplified that they aren't practically useful. Want to learn how to chart your temperature? Hope you're a quick learner, because you get one paragraph to figure it out. Wandering how you should take care of your body while trying to conceive? Don't miss it - it's all in one paragraph.
And yet it's puzzling that there are two pages on selective reduction of multiples, something that very few women will have to face. And if they do, I hope women look at more thorough books than this one to make their decision...
