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.

Summary: What an Education!
Review: This book gave me all the insight I needed into my fertility treatments. It taught me everything from finding the right and GOOD doctor, to every fertility test known to man. The next time I saw my reproductive endocrinologist, I was more than prepared with a list of questions to make sure I was on the right path for my infertility treatments. It explained in the most basic terms every possible fertility problem and provided comfort for me in giving hope for solving those problems. This book is HIGHLY recommended

Summary: A highly technical resource book.
Review: This is a very comprehensive book, filled to the brim with information for the infertility patient. It's a great resource, but some parts are written in a very technical way, with a lot of medical terminology. I didn't read it from cover to cover, but do use it often as a resource.

Summary: Good basic reference
Review: This is one of three or four books that have been our most frequently used reference books during the whole infertility process. It's well written, informative, and contains a great deal of useful information. I would definitely recommend it as one of the first books that a couple buys. The one downside to the book for me is the index. It's not very detailed and so I find I spend more time searching for topics than I should have to.

Summary: Recommended by my fertility doctor!
Review: Very Reassuring! After reading many fertility books, with widely divergent advice, my husband and I read this one upon recommendation of our fertility doctor - a reproductive endocrinologist. It answered all of our questions in a straightforward way and gave MUCH information not covered in other books. If the factual, medical angle is what you're looking for, this is the only one you need. As a footnote, happily, I am now 8 months pregnant!

Summary: an outstanding and up-to-date resource
Review: 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.
