Summary: Covers Basics...Very Reader-Friendly
Review: 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...

Review: This book was my introduction to getting a diagnosis (and treatment) for infertility. It is a great "quick-reference" book--it covers the basics in a very clear fashion. It's a great place to start learning if you find yourself starting the intense journey of infertility treatment. I highly recommend this book for couples.
