The book that talks about infertility treatment from the patient's point of view. I nfertility is a problem that affects one in six American couples.
Couples spend two billion dollars a year on infertility treatments.
But only about half of those couples who seek treatment will end up having a baby. Despite these discouraging figures, fertility doctors continue to appear on the news, and on talk shows, and in magazine articles, extolling new techniques and making it sound as if fertility treatment is highly effective, quick, and easy for any couple who wants to have a baby. It isn't so. Author Peggy Robin, herself a two-time successful fertility patient, has drawn together all the information patients need to be wise consumers and make the often difficult choices they face about medical intervention in their reproductive lives. This is the first book by a patient for other patients to guide couples through the increasingly convoluted maze that is infertility treatment today.
