Editorial Reviews

Review

This Guide provides a concise, sensible, appropriately scientific, but yet easily understood approach to modern fertility diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Jarrett and Dr. Rausch have translated their vast and highly successful clinical experience into a "must" for the couple who "want to have a baby more than anything else." The most important contribution of this book is that it translates the "high tech" into common sense and fills an important void in the specialty.." -- E.P. Peterson, MD, Past President of American Society of Reproductive Medicine, Clinical Professor Dept OB/GYN University of Michigan

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, concise, easy to understand - the best guide there is, February 14, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Fertility Guide: A Couples Handbook for When You Want to Have a Baby (More Than Anything Else) (Paperback)
I've read a lot of infertility books, and this is clearly the best. Not only does it explain normal fertility, and then infertility in clear and understandable detail, it also gives a couple the information they need to be active, informed, and effective participants in the infertility treatment team. If not for this book, my wife and I would have had unnecessary and expensive treatments. Thanks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything from endometriosis to donor gametes, September 14, 2002
This review is from: The Fertility Guide: A Couples Handbook for When You Want to Have a Baby (More Than Anything Else) (Paperback)
Collaboratively written by obstetrician/gynecologist John C. Jarreet and fertility-related stress and management counselor Deidra T. Rausch, The Fertility Guide: A Couples Handbook For When You Want To Have A Baby (More Than Anything Else) is a comprehensive, straightforward and "reader friendly" guide specifically for couples wanting to know the medical facts about the variety of options to improve their chances of successful conception. Covering medical terms in detail, yet written specifically for non-specialist general readers seeking to educate themselves on a complex condition, The Fertility Guide covers everything from endometriosis to donor gametes. The Fertility Guide is superbly presented, authoritative, extensive, and highly recommended reference.
