Description
Infertility is fairly common. It means not being able to become pregnant after a year of trying. If a woman can get pregnant but keeps having miscarriages or stillbirths, that's also called infertility. For once this is an infertility book from a patient's perspective, written by a former patient, sharing experiences of people all over the world in their own words. All the issues are examined, from finding you have problems, the tests you undertake and how they feel and the options available from Advanced Reproductive Technology (ART) - whether it is IVF-related or from donor gametes. The drugs, the techniques, the waiting times and the impact on your formerly very private life are shared. Alternative therapies are dicussed with experts, and hidden psychological barriers exposed. The book also explores life after infertility - the emotional debris both successful and unsuccessful patients carry for life.
