If you buy one book on IVF, buy this one. After studying the web for months and undergoing treatment for a year at a fertility treatment center, we bought this book. We thought we had seen everything. This was the first publication I had seen that suggested that assisted hatching + ICSI could give older couples the same chance of conceiving as younger couples with no assistance. Also, the daily calendar for the first IVF cycle is invaluable. We knew just what to expect. This is a very optimistic book, and you will probably need that to survive IVF. The one criticism is that the success tables in this book are drastically out of date.

This is the book that became my bible as I went into advanced infertility treatments. I finally found the information that I was looking for on what it was truly like to go through a cycle of IVF. I copied the diary that is in the book and mailed it to my family so they also knew what to expect. This was the book where I found all the information that I was searching for to help me know what to expect and to help me make the decision to undergo IVF.

This book helped get me through the 1st IVf treatment. I wish it could have told me more about the Natural IVf cycle. I am starting it tomorrow. I have 13 embryos frozen and am ready to try again. I needed the book everyday to help prepare me for the next.

This book provided me with lots of information and left me loaded with questions for my Reproductive Endocrinologist! It was an excellent resource and I highly recommend it for anyone who is considering or about to undergo any ART procedure.

This book is an excellent resource for anyone thinking about infertility care, its processes and personal challenges.
