4.0 out of 5 stars Good information for those experiencing infertility, May 25 2011

By Ms. Parrothead "Book Lover" - Published on Amazon.com

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

I purchased this book before my first visit with a fertility specialist. I have always liked the format of the "For Dummies" books, and this one did not disappoint. I was able to read the book in a few days and when my husband and I went to our appointment we were not completely lost in all of the jargon and overwhelming amount of information. This book is not a substitute for a fertility specialist, but it is a good resource for those people who are experiencing fertility issues to read either before (or while) they are working with a specialist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great overview of what to expect, Jan 19 2009

This review is from: Infertility For Dummies (Paperback)

This book gave a nice big picture of the whole infertility process. I read it before we visited the doctors. It was helpful to have background info going into the whole process because the doctors tended to gloss over things.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Book, Jan 19 2009

This review is from: Infertility For Dummies (Paperback)

Out of all the infertility books we bought, this was the best one. You must buy this book first before you buy any other books on infertility.
