Infertility can be a couple's biggest nightmare, and for many of them, technology is the only place to turn for a chance at successfully conceiving their own child. In What to Do When You Can't Get Pregnant, world-renowned fertility expert Dr. Daniel A. Potter and Jennifer S. Hanin—a journalist who conceived twin girls through in vitro fertilization—walk readers step-by-step through the intricate process of having a baby using the latest technologies, sharing insider information on all possible procedures, how to choose the right doctor, what questions to ask, and how to live a healthy "fertile" lifestyle to increase the chances of success. For the first time, readers will have access to detailed information on the very latest scientific advances in the field, including prescreening for genetic diseases, gender-choosing, and pre-selecting desirable traits for children. Complete with smart advice on handling emotional issues caused by the frustrations of infertility, What to Do When You Can't Get Pregnant is the only guide couples will ever need to navigate the complicated maze of technology and science leading to parenthood and to make informed choices about their treatment, family, and future.

 Written on July 8, 2005 Summary: Treasure Trove of Information I was in the middle of typing my review when I happened to notice a previous review knocking this book. All I have to say is that the reviewer concerned about OPK accuracy is dead wrong. I've been a nurse practioner for 22 years and OPKs (ovulation predictor kits) give users a 24 to 36 hour window to help them pinpoint ovulation. Even if the kits tell you to use it every day this is just waste of money. I've heard a lot of complaints over the years but this one's A FIRST. The reviewer failed to address that using an OPK is just one of the MANY ways that these authors discuss to help readers pinpoint ovulation. And it goes without saying that OPKs aren't foolproof. This book is well researched, well written, and is being bought by a number of teaching institutions to help train medical staff. I know this because that's how I found out about it and was so impressed that I purchased a copy for my daughter. She has tried to get pregnant over the last five years and we both turned to this book looking for answers. I'm proud to say we read What to Do When You Can't Get Pregnant cover to cover. I may not be the best speller but I know what's medically correct and my daughter is an English teacher so we're confident that the confused reviewer is wrong on all accounts -- this book contains NO medical inaccuracies and NO spelling errors. I know it takes all kinds but I'm always floored when people complain about information that they know nothing about.  Written on July 8, 2005 Summary: Not as good as I expected I was surprised that I did not like this book as much as other reviewers. On the plus side, it does cover a lot of information. However, sometimes the information was summarized to such an extent that it was inaccurate. As an example, when describing how to use OPK's, the authors say that if you have irregular cycles, you should use an OPK every few days. However, as OPK packages tell you and other books say, you need to do it EVERY DAY or else you could miss the one day of the surge. There are other places where statistics are summarized to the extent that they are not accurate. Finally, there are typos and spelling errors through the book. This type of lack of care makes me concerned about what other types of errors might be in the book. Written on July 3, 2005 Summary: Excellent Resource! We didn't know which infertilty book to read because there are so many to choose from but when we saw this one in Newsweek that was all we needed. My husband ordered it last week and we've both read it over the last two days. We both agree that this book is excellent! It covers all the low tech stuff we've heard about from friends as well as all the high tech stuff we've read about in newspaper articles and the latest Newsweek. We're younger than most of the people we've heard about needing treatment (only 23) but we learned from this book that infertility can strike at any age. This made us decide to see a specialist now since we have been trying since we married three years ago. We recommend this book to couples of all ages -- no matter if you're 43 or 23 like us. This book is great! It has helped us find the right path. Good luck to everyone! Written on July 2, 2005 Summary: Got us Pregnant This book is one of the reasons we got pregnant. It guided us through every procedure including my wife's surgery, her egg retrieval, egg transfer, and it even helped me overcome my fear of administering shots. It's not that I felt squeamish about giving them I just had a hard time doing anything to my wife that might cause her discomfort. We both read it before treatment and then used it as a guide while we were going through the motions. It kept us sane the entire time. We credit it for helping us overcome all the rough patches. It also helped us get balance back into our relationship. We had been through 2 previous IVF attempts and banked on being pregnant only to find out it didn't take. This is the stuff that rips your heart out and kills relationships. I know ours was dying until we got our hands on this book. It showed us how to pick ourselves back up again and reconnect with each other and our family and friends and even gave us tips on how to extricate ourselves from stressful situations (something we have always had a hard time with.) It worked for us so hopefully with the right RE it will work for you. Written on July 2, 2005 Summary: This one is worth it! I've been TTC for awhile now, and relied mainly on the chat boards for my info. But I decided to buy a few of the new books to see what I might learn, and found this one to be terrific. It's written by a journalist and her doctor, so it's very conversational but unlike some of the other books out these days it has the medical credibility to stand on its own. The other books are ok, but the title of this one is accurate -- it really does tell you "What to Do When You can't Get Pregnant." This one also has a lot of information the other books don't, like a chapter on relationships, on telling your children about their conception, and it even has full chapters on Microsort and PGD - most of the other books barely mention these amazing new techniques or might have a page or two on them. I'm a beleiver in "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything", so I'm not going to review the other books.... this one is all I need. |
