Very useful
I bought this book in search of answer to my problems, and I found it.Along with my physician I have a beautiful three months old daughter after three years of wait.I think it ease my spirit.
The only problem is that it haslanguage that sometimes get too scientific to be understood.

Information Packed!
I have been going through infertility treatment for two years. I have read a lot of information and talked to several doctors. This book, however, was the most informative literature that I have read yet. I learned things in this book about my infertility that I had not even heard mentioned from my doctors. Dr. Jansen did a wonderful job of explaining a wide range of infertility challenges and answered any question that I had. His book was easy to understand and filled with excellent information. I was able to use some of the information that I learned in this book to have intelligent conversations with my doctors and recommend treatments not suggested.

It is unfortunate that in this day of managed health care we, as consumers, often have to be researchers and take control of our own health care. However, it is to our advantage that we have wonderfully informative references such as this!

Good technical info, but not your best bet
This is a comprehensive guide to the medical or technical aspects of infertility. It contains lots of helpful information about the mechanics of getting pregnant and explains in some detail what can prevent pregnancy from happening. It also discusses various forms of treatment, including IVF, GIFT and ZIFT. What prevents this book from being a top-notch fertility resource: (1) some of the information is already out-of-date due to advances in the field (for example, there's no discussion of Antagon, commonly used with injectable fertility meds and IVF, because Antagon was still being developed at the time the book went to print); (2) the author runs an Australian infertility clinic, and his take on the fertility process is somewhat different from his American counterparts (although he does occasionally mention what is commonly done in the US and Britain); (3) a somewhat cumbersome style - e.g. valuable information is taken out of the main text and put into boxes; extremely technical information is mixed in with the practical stuff a patient needs to know. There is lots of valuable information in the book, but you'll need to supplement it with your own research and other reading.

If you are looking for some answers, this is the book!
I have read and searched for answers from many sources.I found this book to be a wealth of information!The book is well set up. It goes into depth on specific problems as well going over the basics.The chapters and headings are labelled and organized well.And the index is very extensive and it is easy to find what you are looking for.The author is not only an expert in this field but also is able to get the information across so that readers without a medical degree can understand.I have been able to use this book in conjunction with receiving treatment from a fertility specialist.It confirms and helps me better understand what my doctor is doing.I highly recommend this book! ...
