5.0 out of 5 stars a book for women who are ready to control their fertility, May 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Complete Fertility Organizer: A Guidebook and Record Keeper for Women (Paperback)

I expect that I will find this book invaluable, as will many women who want to be in control of their fertility. So many books out there overwhelm- expecting the reader is looking for emotional help rather than practical help. This book chooses to address the reader with kindness and compassion, but still provides real-life answers and a way to control the process. Ms. Miller's book is informative and practical, a must have for anyone trying to get pregnant. This book answers questions and makes sense of medical jargon and daunting terms, while also telling the reader the essential questions to ask. I am so pleased someone wrote a book like this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential route to organizing your fertility efforts, May 2, 2002

This review is from: The Complete Fertility Organizer: A Guidebook and Record Keeper for Women (Paperback)

I seldom find the time to add my voice to Amazon reviews - but in this case I felt compelled to do so in order to assist the author in combatting a less-than-postive reviewer!

Unfortunately, my copy of this book is now full, dog-eared and showing signs of having been consulted too many times. BUT, this book has helped me enormously to keep up with the sheer volume of information given to me by doctors during my quest to become pregnant. It is not my only reference source on infertility to be sure...but it is not designed to be. Along with some basic information on the pregnancy process and infertility methods, what this book really is now - is a reference source on ME and my fight gainst infertility! I feel it is invaluable for people facing these challenges to have one place to keep everything straight. It is so important to take charge of your own issues -getting pregnant for some is a long ride - and if you are on this ride you must take part in the driving. The world of overworked fertility doctors is vast - just look around the waiting room if you don't believe me...I cannot count the number of times I have been in one appointment or another and have had the correct information on my status at my fingertips faster than my physician because this book was open on my lap!

I have given my mother - director of a public library -- the name as well, so she could add a sample copy to her shelves. Maybe then, women facing issues getting pregnant might see it, buy a copy for themselves and start taking charge of their cycles, emotions and actively managing their fertility plans.

My only critique is that I need more pages in mine...

This is a useful guidebook which helps inform and organize you through an often frustrating process. The book does a wonderful job of bringing detailed medical jargon into fully understandable layman's terms. It takes complicated processes and makes them simple to follow. This guidebook will help you keep together all the data necessary to feel organized and in control while undergoing fertility treatment. A "must have" for any woman involved in this process!
