Infertility
A Tapestry Guide
by Laurie S. Wallmark So you're thinking about having a baby. Congratulations! But maybe it's taking a little longer than you expected. Perhaps you're starting to become a little bit concerned. A small voice in the back of your mind is starting to think about the possibility of infertility. But how do you start to collect information and make decisions? It all seems so confusing. INFERTILITY: THE TAPESTRY GUIDE is the book you need to begin your understanding of infertility. Section One covers the causes of infertility, whether it is due to female only, male only, or other factors. Section Two explains how infertility is diagnosed, explaining both the basic and the more in-depth tests. It includes a checklist to help you keep track of the innumerable tests that you may have to undergo. In Section Three, you'll learn about the many treatments available: drugs and other non-invasive procedures; surgical and other invasive procedures, donor sperm and egg; surrogacy, and alternative treatments. Section Four includes organizations, print resources and online resources. It even has a glossary so that you can decode the "alphabet soup" of drugs and treatments that your doctor tells you about. A diagnosis of infertility can be scary ... but learning about infertility shouldn't have to be. This is the book that you should read first.
