4.0 out of 5 stars Infertility FAQs in one neat package, October 15, 2007
When a couple is suffering through infertility, they have a million questions. Fertility Drs. Gordon and DiMattina attempt to cover the basics in a single, reliable source with 100 Questions & Answers About Infertility.

They start with the basics: What is infertility and what does normal reproduction look like? Then they move on to infertility evaluation and treatments. Next they touch on specific problems such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Tubal Disease, Male Factor, and Endometriosis. They address treatment options, specifically Intrauterine Insemination, In Vitro Fertilization, and Third-Party Reproduction. They also answer questions regarding lifestyle (stress, exercise, etc.) in regard to reproduction, and finally they address pregnancy loss. There is also a plethora of statistical information.

If you find yourself in the throes of infertility and you are lost in the lingo, this book may be a good start. It will answer many clinical and technical questions you may have about your problem and where to start. This book will be especially helpful for those who have the conditions mentioned and those who want details on medical measures. It should also help you decide what steps you want to take in the process. The information seems, in my experience, to be accurate and up to date.

What this book won't do for you is answer the more emotional side of infertility. It won't tell you that taking Clomid might cause you to cry for weeks on end. It won't tell you that you will get pregnant. And it won't have a definitive answer for why you aren't achieving pregnancy when all the testing says there is no reason. However, this is a very informative book on many of the more common and clinical aspects of the process.

Armchair Interviews says: A book with answers to many questions some couples might have

5.0 out of 5 stars Forget the Internet - BUY THIS BOOK!, May 17, 2009
By Faith28 (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
You MUST read this book BEFORE you meet with your reproductive specialist or consider ANY kind of fertility treatment. When I originally started researching my infertility issues online in preparation for my consultation with a reproductive endocrinologist (RE), I quickly realized how much MISINFORMATION there is out there on the Web and these online fertility chat rooms where many women speak as if they have an MD by their name. When I was given a copy of Dr. Gordon and Dr. DiMattina's book, it was as if a light bulb suddenly turned on and all of my anxieties about fertility treatment went away. BECAUSE OF THIS BOOK, I was able to ask very detailed questions when I met with my RE for the first time...You have all of your answers right here in one source. The book is SO EASY to read and understand. It covers EVERYTHING from the basics of fertility to complicated treatment options...every question you can possibly imagine is covered in these pages. Despite my extensive research, I find myself going back to the book often and always learning something new. You will not regret making this purchase. Not only are Dr. Gordon and Dr. DiMattina top experts in their field, they tirelessly go above and beyond to educate all of their patients and answer their hundreds of questions individually. I cannot say enough good things about their book or their practice (Dominion Fertility in Arlington, VA), where I am a grateful patient.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific book from terrific docs (I know - Dr. G was my doc!), May 23, 2008
This is a terrific resource from two terrific doctors! Dr. Gordon was my RE and guided my husband and me through three IVF cycles which resulted in two spectacular little girls (now almost 5 and almost 3 1/2). The book provides intelligent, caring information - which is what I would expect from a doctor that is caring, kind and funny in person. Highly recommend the book, the blog and the Doctors.
