Book Reviews of Infertility Survival Handbook
Book Review: A must read for anyone undergoing (or considering) fertility treatment
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic resource for anyone undergoing (or considering) fertility treatment. It offers an abundance of useful technical information, written in a way that is very easy to understand. I read most of the book before my first appointment with an RE and am so glad that I did. I felt prepared for the consultation and I think it would have been unbearably overwhelming if I didn't know what to expect during the visit and was clueless about the different treatment options. The visit went smoothly and I felt ready to talk to the doctor, ask questions and make treatment decisions. As I begin my treatment, I have been referring back to this back often. At the same time, the book also offers some levity and humor at a time when you really need it. Because it is written from a patient perspective (but she does consult with doctors so you can trust that the medical information is accurate) it is easy to relate to her experience, and I have found comfort in that. Overall a great resource!
