Synopsis

Most people don't expect problems having a baby, and we certainly don't expect to need anyone else's help! Sometimes, though, creating a family turns out to be a bit more complicated than we thought. This book is for anyone who is having difficulty getting or staying pregnant. The Infertility Handbook guides you through the whole experience of dealing with infertility from taking the first step of talking to your GP, to what to expect when you see an infertility specialist and what happens if you head down the treatment path. In clear, straight-forward language with detailed illustrations and photographs, it takes you through the complex world of assisted reproduction and in vitro fertilisation. It also deals with the personal and emotional side of things and includes the stories of men and women who, just like you, have faced the challenges of infertility.

Written by someone with extensive personal experience of infertility treatment, and under the careful eye of a top practising infertility specialist, The Infertility Handbook is an invaluable, accurate and up-to-date resource. This book will not bring you the baby you so long for, but it will certainly help you manage the treatment that may well do so.

A propos du livre

After four years and ten cycles, Jacqueline Tomlins has learned a lot about IVF - not just the nitty-gritty of hormones and sperm, but the way to take control of it rather than letting it take control of you. Tomlins has worked as a teacher, researcher, trainer and advocate and is now a full-time writer. Her travel book A Girl s Own Adventure has recently been published and she has also written various articles on IVF for The Age and other publications.
