Why wasn't this book published years ago?? That was the question I was left with after reading Kate's latest book. For me opening the Contents page was a joy in itself. No having to search for what I wanted to find, the easy layout meant I could dip in and out to relevant sections as and when I wanted to.
The book gives a brilliant overview of everything to do with female fertility, beginning with the basics which as well as explaining terms I thought I was incredibly familiar with, also gave added depth. The book moves on to trying to conceive, improving your chances and seeking further help.
With sections of the book titled `Finding the Right Time' and `How Late can I Leave it?' I feel this book is applicable to all females regardless of age and current relationship situation.
The book goes succinctly in to everything you could want to know about fertility, but not just the physical side. The emotional aspects of infertility don't just have their own section; there is a recognition throughout the book of the emotional difficulties experienced when trying to conceive.
This book gives a comprehensive overview and a thorough explanation of the techniques and drugs used in fertility treatment, it also continues beyond treatment, looking at other ways of creating a family and the option of living involuntarily childless.
Had I seen this book on a shelf at a book shop I may have been put off by the lack of glossy pages full of pictures - but that would have been to miss out on a brilliantly written, easy to use source of reference that is written with warmth and compassion for fellow females.
This book is presumably written for women who are thinking about their fertility - yet I am left feeling I should have read this in my late teens or early twenties. I feel I would have known me better. What I plan to do is give this book to my goddaughters as part of their 21st birthday presents. Sure to raise a few eye brows, but I feel sure one day they'll thank me.

A friend recommended this book and I nearly didn't buy it after reading the last review on here. I'm so glad I went with the recommendation as I found it to be a really informative and helpful book. It went through everything I wanted to know, and it was all explained so clearly. I loved the way it included women's experiences all the way through the book. This isn't just a medical book about fertility but goes through all the emotions involved, the merits of having a baby at different ages, the options for women wanting to go it alone and loads of other things that you consider when you're wondering how late you can leave it to have a baby. It has all the medical stuff you need to know, but so much more as well. I thought it was a fabulous book - and a great first read for anyone wanting to know more about female fertility.

should you know nothing about fertility, then you may be tempted of buying this book. don't! this book is too simple, vague, superficial, with no details. better to buy all the rest of fertility books on amazon (some of which great!) which can give you useful information, clear explanations, more insight and real knowledge, instead of wasting your money on this one. useless book, i'm sorry.
