The fertility doctor's guide to overcoming infertility : discovering your reproductive potential and maximizing your odds of having a baby / by Trolice, Mark P.,1962-author.(CARDINAL)851712;

Includes bibliographical references (page 203) index.In the only general guide to infertility written by a medical doctor who specializes in the subject, Mark Trolice, MD--who is board-certified in both OB/GYN and REI (Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility)--shares the practical knowledge he has gained from working in infertility medicine for years, with many hundreds of patients, alongwith the warmth and wisdom he has acquired from getting to know prospective parents from all kind of backgrounds. The journey from infertility to fertility, from childlessness to a brand-new baby, can be long and arduous. It involves complicated medical diagnoses, a wide range of treatment options, a host of potential lifestyle changes, lots of emotional ups and downs, and--even with the best medical insurance--challenging financial decisions. Your doctors cannot decide everything for you, and that is why an authoritative and comprehensive book, written in clear and understandable language for the layperson, is essential. This is that book.
