4.0 out of 5 stars
A great reference tool - especially helpful during treatment,
By sarah@gebauer.demon.co.uk (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Infertility Companion: A Complete Guide to Infertility Treatment (Paperback)
I have read many fertility 'help' books during the past couple of years but liked Anna Furse's direct and knowledgeable (through her own experience) approach to this subject. It has some excellent advice and makes you realise that you are not alone in this subfertility hell. Its the sort of guidebook you will end up refering to constantly when you start this emotional rollercoaster ride that is otherwise known as IVF treatment.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Easy to use guide to infertility and the options available,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Infertility Companion: A Complete Guide to Infertility Treatment (Paperback)
This book is a must for anyone who feels they may have an infertility problem or for those about to start treatment. It deals specifically with treatment in the UK which I liked as many of the books on the market are from America. The author herself has undergone fertility treatment and definately makes you feel that you are not alone! In laymans terms she takes you through all aspects of infertility - from diagnosis, through all the various treatments and on to other options such as surrogacy, adoption or life without children. I have found this book invaluable - a definate must for your bookshelf.
