Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Over the last 25 years, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of couples seeking treatment for infertility; as many as one in six couples of childbearing age has difficulty conceiving. The third edition of The Couple's Guide to Fertility: Entirely Revised and Updated with the Newest Scientific Techniques to Help You Have a Baby offers a helpful survey of a couple's options, including hormone therapies, surgery, in vitro fertilization, sperm injection, egg and sperm donors, adoption, surrogate motherhood and alternative therapies. The book was collaborated on by journalist Mark Fuerst, Chapel Hill Fertility Center director Gary S. Berger, M.D. (an expert on female microsurgery), and urologist Marc Goldstein, director of the Center for Male Reproduction and Microsurgery. Given the diverse causes and sufferers of infertility, and the authors' sensitivity to both men and women's conception woes, this book should have no trouble finding its audience.
From Library Journal
This book emphasizes the need for careful testing and identification of the causes of infertility before treatment is considered. Basic reproductive techniques, fertility tests, and treatments are clearly described and evaluated. The authors' description of drug side-effects and success probabilities of surgery is particularly useful for couples in the later stages of fertility management. Also presented are ethical and emotional perspectives necessary in such decision making. A directory of key specialists and resource centers in the United States and Canada is featured. Clearly written, well organized, and comprehensive, this book is highly recommended for public libraries and patient information centers.
