Summary: Informative but incomplete
Review: I liked the optimism of this book and Dr. Silber's advocacy of an aggressive approach to treatment, but I wouldn't say this is a comprehensive book because it doesn't really address the emotional/psychological aspects of infertility and its treatment. Plus, Dr. Silber's self-aggrandizing tone was suprising and distracting in a book that is supposed to be about helping others, not self-promotion.

Summary: A perfect place to start your IVF research
Review: I picked this book up as one of the first reference books when my husband and I began to investigate IVF. The book is not about ethics debates and does not begin to address the emotional issues surrounding infertility and assisted reproduction, but it does tell you the technological facts of the various procedures. The author discusses testing, diagnosis and treatments as well as giving sample calendars and timelines you can expect if you undergo the emotional and physical journey towards conception. I felt very prepared after reading (actually studying) this book, so much so that my own reproductive endocrinologist was amazed at the questions I asked when undergoing treatment.This is not a hand holding book, it's straight forward factual information to let the reader know the options and facts about the treatment of infertility. While the author is himself a reproductive endocrinologist, there are very few references to himself or his clinic.
