I bought this book after 2 years + of infertility, and still learned information from Dr. Marrs. The tone of his book is not condescending, but helpful to the reader, and the patient experiences he puts in the book to discuss the emotional aspects of the disease cover all areas that couples go through. An wonderful resource!

I was very pleased with all the information and how it was presented in the book. I knew absolutely nothing about the steps that were needed to achieve pregnancy at my age of 43.Dr. Marrs was excellent in explaining my options and what the side effects could be. I would definitely recommend to anyone trying to start a family and want information!

If you want one book to do it all, get this one.

At least it provides you with a vision of most of the issues surrounding infertility.

It provides excellent information on female infertility issues.

It provides cursory information about male infertility issues.

We have recommended and loaned out this book to several friends, and they all were happy with the details provided.

This is a very comprehensive book, filled to the brim with information for the infertility patient. It's a great resource, but some parts are written in a very technical way, with a lot of medical terminology. I didn't read it from cover to cover, but do use it often as a resource.

After 6 years of trying to start a family we purchased this book. Two years later we managed to conceive, however we lost the baby at 8 weeks. Although we are lost at the moment we will try again.

This book helped us to conceive. It's also helping us with our miscarriage. I have shared this book with others and they have all found it helpful. We have purchased other titles, however non-compare.

It is easy to read and understand. Definitely recommend this to anyone trying to understand their infertility and options.

Dr. Richard Marrs' book is the most wonderful purchase I've made in a long-time. I have several "fertility" related books, and this book is the most "dog-eared" of the lot. He has a great conversational style, and he explains the "theory" behind the treatments. That way as new techniques are developed, it's easy for the informed patient to understand why treatment plans change because the fundamentals are so well understood. Highly recommended reference book for all IF patients!

What an exceptional book. This is clearly the most recent resource out there for those struggling with infertility. It is written in plain english and is well-organized. I found the glossaries at the end of each chapter and the end of the book invaluable. The level of detail is exceptional. This book covers material that most others leave out. Most importantly it is UP-TO-DATE. In an area that is changing so quickly, a three-year-old book is out of date. Dr. Marrs and his co-authors have done a real service to todays fertility patients.

This book does not offer everything you need to know. It will help you self-diagnose your infertility problem, but it does not offer much information past the original diagnosis. There is not enough info about the specific diseases or treatments beyond a cursory medical explanation and a description of IVF,GIFT,etc.(this is probably a great book if you are primarily interested in these alternatives). I would have liked to have seen more information regarding natural methods to use with or instead of assisted reproductive methods. It's a large book to buy for such a limited range of topics.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CONCIEVE FOR 13 MONTHS AND UNDERGOING FERTILITY TREATMENT. THIS BOOK HAS ANSWERED ANY QUESTION I'VE HAD FROM THE BEGINNING. IT IS ALSO A GREAT SOURCE OF COMFORT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! EXCELLENT BOOK!

This book gave me all the insight I needed into my fertility treatments. It taught me everything from finding the right and GOOD doctor, to every fertility test known to man. The next time I saw my reproductive endocrinologist, I was more than prepared with a list of questions to make sure I was on the right path for my infertility treatments. It explained in the most basic terms every possible fertility problem and provided comfort for me in giving hope for solving those problems. This book is HIGHLY recommended
