Summary: Very informative and easy to follow
Review: I found this book very helpful in explaining the different reasons for infertility and the subsequent treatments. I admit there were some chapters I needed to read more than once but overall I had no trouble with the terminology.While I am not sure everyone needs to read this book cover to cover, it is more helpful as a reference for looking up particular procedures and diagnosis's. The main thing this book accomplished for me was to give me more confidence in discussing procedures with my reproductive endocrinologist.

Summary: Looked very good until I found serious factual inaccuracies.
Review: I was very impressed with this book until I read the text of pgs. 168 and 169 where the author states that the drug DES was found to be harmful to prenatally exposed offspring in the 1950's and quickly removed from the market. He goes on to state that a woman born in 1965 with reproductive abnormalites like those caused by DES could not possibly have been exposed to DES "since DES had been removed from the market." In fact DES was found to cause reproductive harm in the 1940's but not banned from use in pregnant women until 1971. This physician is spreading inaccurate, potentially harmful "information." In light of this widely understood information that DES was not taken off the market for use in pregnant women until 1971, this reviewer has to place in consideration the accuracy of the other information in this book. The information as to the active time period of des use is not obsure and widely available to professionals in this field

Summary: An excellent resource for the"average person"
Review: 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!

Summary: Excellent for Female Infertility & Ave. for male infertility
Review: If you want one book to do it all, get this one. At least it provides you with a vision of most of the issues surrounding infertility. It provides excellent information on female infertility issues. It provides cursory information about male infertility issues. We have recommended and loaned out this book to several friends, and they all were happy with the details provided.

Review: My husband and I spent almost 7 years trying to concieve. Finally, thanks to Dr. Marrs, we are the proud parents of a healthy beautiful son. This book shares not only Dr. Marrs' top level expertise, but also his very human and understanding side. We are now looking forward to a second pregnancy and already started re-reading this extraordinary book.

Summary: Medically accurate but limited...
Review: This book does not offer everything you need to know. It will help you self-diagnose your infertility problem, but it does not offer much information past the original diagnosis. There is not enough info about the specific diseases or treatments beyond a cursory medical explanation and a description of IVF,GIFT,etc.(this is probably a great book if you are primarily interested in these alternatives). I would have liked to have seen more information regarding natural methods to use with or instead of assisted reproductive methods. It's a large book to buy for such a limited range of topics.

Summary: Informative, if you have female infertility.
Review: This book focuses on the medical aspect of infertility. It is filled with a lot of good information. I have to say that I was disappointed at the attention given to male infertility. There are five chapters on female infertility and only one 25 page chapter on male factor infertility. In this one little chapter they've lumped together finding the problem, sperm separation, choosing boy or girl sperm, donor insemination, micromanipulation, and alternative solutions. Each little subject is just glossed over and only the bare facts are given. If you are coping with female infertility, this is a great book. It's also a good read if you are just beginning to get to the bottom of your infertility, male or female. But if male factor infertility is your problem, then you might as well skip this book.
