From Publishers Weekly
There is hope and help for women having difficulty becoming pregnant, assures Lauerson, a clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at New York Medical College. The author of several books on women's health, with journalist Bouchez he here describes what factors affect fertility, as well as environmental and bacterial threats to both male and female fertility. But more important, the coauthors show what steps can be taken to prevent or remedy impediments, including ovarian cysts, fibroids, sexually transmitted diseases, pelvic inflammatory disease and endometriosis. Although many guides to becoming pregnant focus on the female, this contains a comprehensive chapter on threats to male fertility--sexual infections, high blood pressure and diabetes. Unfortunately, some well-known fertility problems, such as a woman's prenatal exposure to diethystilbestrol (DES), are mentioned but not discussed fully. For the couple still unable to conceive, Lauersen and Bouchez offer know-how on in vitro fertilization procedures and programs. A brief but helpful resource section lists the names of medical associations, self-help groups and physicians specializing in reproductive medicine.

Lauersen, a clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology andauthor of five other books, and journalist Bouchez describe how thereproductive system functions and what can go wrong. Encouragingreaders to use this knowledge to maximum advantage in order to achievepregnancy, they focus less on new technologies than on the practicalchanges couples can make in their everyday lives to enhance thepossibility of conception and successful pregnancy. The authorsexplain the effects of stress, exercise, work, and drugs, both legaland illegal, on fertility. They also provide information on the linksbetween diet and conception, the prevention of miscarriage, and anutritional plan designed to enhance fertility. The final section,"Personal Pregnancy Planner," is a six-month guide designed to "helpyou have a faster, easier, most important, healthier conception whenyou want to." This book provides practical advice without promotinga particular method, as did A. Toth's The Fertility Solution ( LJ2/1/91). It covers much of the same ground but in far less detail thanSherman Silber's How To Get Pregnant with the New Technology ( LJ2/1/91). Recommended for popular medical collections.
