[.ca] Dr. Richard Marrs' Fertility Book: America's Leading ... (ISBN 0440508037)

Recommended by my fertility doctor!:
Very Reassuring! After reading many fertility books, with widely divergent advice, my husband and I read this one upon recommendation of our fertility doctor - a reproductive endocrinologist. It answered all of our questions in a straightforward way and gave MUCH information not covered in other books. If the factual, medical angle is what you're looking for, this is the only one you need. As a footnote, happily, I am now 8 months pregnant!

Informative, if you have female infertility.:
This book focuses on the medical aspect of infertility. It is filled with a lot of good information. I have to say that I was disappointed at the attention given to male infertility. There are five chapters on female infertility and only one 25 page chapter on male factor infertility. In this one little chapter they've lumped together finding the problem, sperm separation, choosing boy or girl sperm, donor insemination, micromanipulation, and alternative solutions. Each little subject is just glossed over and only the bare facts are given. If you are coping with female infertility, this is a great book. It's also a good read if you are just beginning to get to the bottom of your infertility, male or female. But if male factor infertility is your problem, then you might as well skip this book.

Great guide for anyone undergoing infertility treatments:
Dr. Marrs' Fertility Book is a handy reference for couples who may be experiencing infertility. Dr. Marrs clearly explains the various procedures used to determain the cause(s) of infertility. He also provides detailed explainations on the various treatments used to try and acheive pregnancy. Dr. Marr's book has answered many of my questions as I work through my own infertility issues. I highly recommend this book as a handy reference for anyone who is being treated for infertility.

Great Guide to anyone working through infertility:
After 6 years of trying to start a family we purchased this book. Two years later we managed to conceive, however we lost the baby at 8 weeks. Although we are lost at the moment we will try again. This book helped us to conceive. It's also helping us with our miscarriage. I have shared this book with others and they have all found it helpful. We have purchased other titles, however non-compare. It is easy to read and understand. Definitely recommend this to anyone trying to understand their infertility and options.

Excellent for Female Infertility & Ave. for male infertility:
If you want one book to do it all, get this one. At least it provides you with a vision of most of the issues surrounding infertility. It provides excellent information on female infertility issues. It provides cursory information about male infertility issues. We have recommended and loaned out this book to several friends, and they all were happy with the details provided.
