Customer Reviews

Thorough and Compassionate

If you only buy one book about infertility, buy this one. It offers in-depth, solid information about male and female infertility problems, testing, hormone levels and treatments.But what really separates this book from the others is that it includes a great deal of information on how to decide which treatments are right for you, as well as when (if) you should end treatment. They don't give any pat answers, but they do equip you with the decision making skills you need to reach a point of resolution.I loved this book!

the best resource I've found

I was grateful to find this new book to address many questions and concerns I had. The content is thorough, the tone is very compassionate, and the suggestions are respectful of diverse values. There are lots of quotes from real people that bring a nice personal touch to a sometimes very clinical subject. I get a lot of comfort from just re-reading parts of the book that reassure me that others before me have taken and survived this journey. I don't know of any other book like it.

Comprehensive

This book is the most detailed and clear encyclopedia on fertility issues that we've come across. Very thorough and reliable. Very up to date

RESOLVE does it again!

RESOLVE has been helping those in the infertility for years and continues to do so with this amazing book. The author takes you through the biological side of conceiving and also the different causes of infertility. What I especially liked about it is how easy it is to understand as it guides you through the entire process from medical, to diagnosis and through treatment, pregnancy and beyond.It provides sound advice for infertility coverage and choosing a good doctor. It offers alternatives to conventional fertility treatment, as well as adoption, and the use of donors and/or surrogates. It also takes you through resolving issues to help those who choose to live life without children or to move on to adoption. Throughout, if gives the reader emotional support, which I feel is the hardest obstacle to overcome. As a fertility patient myself, and director of community of ChildofMyDreams.com, I highly recommend it.
