Product Description
Infertility can be a couple's biggest nightmare, and for many of them, technology is the only place to turn for a chance at successfully conceiving their own child. In What to Do When You Can't Get Pregnant, world-renowned fertility expert Dr. Daniel A. Potter and Jennifer S. Hanin—a journalist who conceived twin girls through in vitro fertilization—walk readers step-by-step through the intricate process of having a baby using the latest technologies, sharing insider information on all possible procedures, how to choose the right doctor, what questions to ask, and how to live a healthy "fertile" lifestyle to increase the chances of success. For the first time, readers will have access to detailed information on the very latest scientific advances in the field, including prescreening for genetic diseases, gender-choosing, and pre-selecting desirable traits for children. Complete with smart advice on handling emotional issues caused by the frustrations of infertility, What to Do When You Can't Get Pregnant is the only guide couples will ever need to navigate the complicated maze of technology and science leading to parenthood and to make informed choices about their treatment, family, and future. |

This book looks at all the options by SWOHoney (Washington, DC)  5 Stars
April 07, 2008
This books is perfect for those who are analyzing all the different options for the treatment of infertility. It also covers all the different forms of male and female infertility. It gives in depth explanations to all the treatment options and what to expect with each one of them. It goes as far a providing a sample IVF protocol calendar. I was really impressed by the wealth of knowledge the authors provide. Although the book can be very technical, it does offer explanation of what all the medical terms are. Highly recommend for those who are exploring their options.

Excellent resource! by CWine (Cary, NC) 5 Stars
May 15, 2007
I loved this book and wished it was the first one I'd found (rather than the last) as my husband and I went through the infertility process. The information was plentiful, was in an easy-to-follow, easy-to-understand manner and would be useful for anyone at any stage of their fertility. I would highly recommend you start here when gathering information about this emotionally and physically difficult process.

What a help! by nels_girl (San Francisco, CA United States) 4 Stars
February 09, 2007
I bought this book based on the reviews on Amazon. Boy, has it helped! It is clear and not full of medical jargon that is hard to understand. I like the fact that this was written by a woman who went through the process and a fertility doctor. It seemed to be the perfect blend. A must read for anyone going through this!

Amazing book, should be required reading for infertility! by L. Boswell (Costa Mesa, CA.) 5 Stars
January 10, 2007
A friend recommended this book as "required reading" if you are facing any kind of infertility, or seeking treatment. This book went far beond that, and I heartily agree. It helped me understand what I was going through, the many different options, separated fact from myth and was presented in easy to read format. Don't let the fact that a doctor has written this book think it is in clinical terms; he co-wrote it with a patient and it is all very well presented. I was so impressed, I am now seeking treatment with Dr. Daniel Potter, but this is a great book no matter where you live. I highly recommend it!
