Summary: Everything You Need to Know about IVF But Were Afraid to Ask
Comment: This book is fabulous! Not only is the book packed with easy-to-understand, medically accurate information, it addresses the considerable management, financial, and emotional aspects of the process as well. What truly surprised me about THE COUPLES GUIDE TO IN VITRO FERTILIZATION, though, was that it accomplished all of the above while also being truly fun to read. I found myself nodding, crying, and laughing at the stories shared by the many couples interviewed for the book. As both a docter and someone who has experienced IVF, I can whole-heartedly recommend this book to anyone embarking on this challenging- and potentially rewarding journey.

Summary: A Guy¹s Perspective
Comment: My wife and I are struggling with infertility. I don¹t know how it is for other couples (it varies, I¹m sure) but the inability to have a baby can be heartbreaking for guys, too. So it was nice to come across a guide aimed at couples. Liza Charlesworth¹s wise, heartfelt book provides superb advice on a bunch of key issues: picking the right doctor, understanding IVF protocol, getting your finances together, keeping sane. I especially enjoyed the insights from other women -- and men --who have struggled with the process. It gave my wife and I hope, which is worth everything.

Summary: Smart & Compassionate
Comment: By far the most useful book I have read on this topic. Charlesworth is simultaneously optimistic, warm, AND logical in her plain-language explanations of this complicated, overwhelming process. Reading it is like having a best friend who also happens to be a reproductive endocrinologist drop by for a few hours for coffee and a long chat! Charlesworth is an expert communicator--distilling detailed scientific processes into plain English. (My favorite is when she talks about the process of conception, and compares the navigation of sperm in the cervical canal to an action-adventure flick--as opposed to a tender romance movie--it's actually quite a feat for sperm to perform.) The author also sprinkles the book with enough information about her personal experience to reassure you that she's been there herself. But, she's not heavy-handed about it, as you read, you feel like the focus is on YOU and your experience rather than her and hers. I can't recommend it highly enough.
