I don't have adequate words to express what a thrill it was to read your book. I literally stayed up all night last night, as I couldn't put it down. Your story was compelling and it moved me to both laugh and cry inside. Your humor was excellent, and your sensitive descriptions of your trials and anguish even more so. In a way, I feel like I've been priveleged to read your diary. Your journey was very personal and your candor was remarkable. I have no doubt that women who read the book will be inspired and motivated to seek proper medical care. You will bolster the courage in women who are emotionally beaten down by their infertility. Thank you for an inspiring and important book.

This review is from: Doctor, Are You Listening?: A Couple's Struggle to Find the Right Infertility Doctor (Paperback)

This book, a joint authorship between a woman who suffered from infertility and a physician with years of experience treating infertility is a must-read if you are a couple who are trying to conceive, with difficulty, or if you are looking to adopt. The information in this book is right out of the experience of one married couple who went through a true odyssey to start a family.

The book alternates between Linda's treatments, at the hands of various experts to investigate and treat her infertility and ending up with their adoption of two infants. Just the chapters on adoption alone are worth reading this book. You will get an idea of the huge problems that exist for couples who simply want to start a family and cannot conceive a child of their own. It will make you cry. It made me cry.

The author goes into detail on her medical treatments--good if you want to know what to expect. Dr. Khatamee provides useful and easy-to-understand explanations of all kinds of causes of infertility and lays out the most common in the back of the book, so you can make sure the major issues are covered when you are undergoing similar investigations. Between reading about Linda's own experience, and the medical information, never overwhelming and always succinct and to the point, any couple who is considering IVF or other fertility treatment really should read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is very educational., November 22, 2009
