Great Resource

Its ashame there are not that many good books for dealing with male infertility. This is definatly one of the few and the best i've read. It has excellent information, and gives you an idea of what can be wrong, the approaches to fixing it etc.. I would definatly say to anyone going through this to buy this book, it will be an eye opener.

Good balance of scientific evidence and practical information

As a scientist, it is comforting to know that there are authors out there that know that many people would like to know scientific information without being treated like a specimen. This book gives great scientific citations while also giving practical information and personal stories. I think it is a good balance for this type of book. I was encouraged to see evidence of what some major religions thought about different infertility treatments-this is often left out of such books, but these authors realized that it is important to many people. The book itself discusses causes, treatments and psychology around male infertility. It discusses from both the male and femal perspective, which I believe is important. There are many great references in the back of the book as well.

A great book for those in need.

This was a great book for us. Very easy to read - it had the technical stuff but explained in a very down to earth way. It covered many subjects from IVF, IVF ICSI, donor sperm. All in non-judgmental ways, I gives you the facts of all and lets you decide without steering you one way or the other. It also discusses some of the causes. I thought the books was super and should be required reading for all couples that are in this situation.

A great medical book!

This is one of the best infertility books I have purchased. Most of the other books leave out valuable statistics and information that made me more curious than before reading the book. This book however, gave me detailed information that was invaluable! It is well written and researched! Being a doctor myself, I was thankful that someone actually included scientific results and information along with all other sorts of data. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone struggling with male infertility!!

Dr. Thomas is wonderful!

I have never met Dr. Shrover, but Dr. Thomas is wonderful! He is one of the best in the field - very knowledgeable. He's also a nice guy. He's my husband's doctor.After we heard that he wrote a book we made sure to get it and check it out. This is a great book if you are facing male infertility and want to learn more. The book covers all sorts of diagnosis and gives some really good advice. I highly recommend it. Remember, you have to be your own advocate - you need to learn all you can if you want to make sure you get the best treatment. This book will really help you learn what you need to know. Good luck!
