Infertility Books

I loved reading this book. I found the book easy to read, fluid and reconfirming advice I'd already received from friends, doctors and other information I've gathered along the way. This book was extremely comforting in the sense that a doctor who specializes in difficult births, let alone a normal, average births, validated my thoughts and feelings on preganancy, labor and delivery. I truly appreciated the authors emphasis on the "woman being involved and empowered" with decisions, expcially in regards to cesarean sections. I've already passed this book along to all my pregnant friends!

Empowered pregnancy is about lifting the veil of assumptions, beliefs and old practices that keep a woman from making her own choices around her pregnancy and delivery. The book serves as a patient advocate to navigate through a complex medical system. The book reveals the truth that women have more control over their pregnancy than they know. This is a remarkable book. I'm recommending it to family members and friends.

I love my Fertile Soul Cycle Companion! It walks me through the varied cycles of this journey - helping me to understand my body and its natural rhythms, assuring me what is good and healthy, and helping me address what needs nurturing.

Having used the fertile soul companion journal- I find it to be an indespensable ressource in the journey to getting pregnant. It is not only a beautiful journal but full of charts diagrams and information that make daily charting simple and comprehensible. I would highly recommend this product for anyone who is trying to conceive.

This book uses detailed case material to illustrate the various concerns experienced by patients who are dealing with infertility. It provides clear descriptions of the specific interventions that address many of these patient concerns. Deveraux and Hammerman have presented material in such a way that therapists are able to select appropriate specific interventions so that therapy can be individualized to address the concerns of a particular patient or couple. Infertility and Identity also describes effective interventions for patients who may still be struggling with the issue of infertility years after a successful pregnancy or adoption. This book is especially relevant at a time when financial constraints often necessitate therapy to be focused and time-limited. This book will be an excellent resource for clinicians who are helping patients deal with the many issues related to infertility.

This is a much-needed resource for a major problem area for many couples. Deveraux and Hammerman have written an informed and useful book about a seldom-addressed problem. Of particular interest are their challenges to traditional thinking. As a psychologist often working with clients with infertility problems I found their concepts challenging and useful, full of practical information. Although directed to the professional this book is quite readable and down-to-earth, and will be as valuable resource for individuals and couples struggling with this problem. Highly recommended.

This is such a wonderful guide and resource for anyone who is trying to navigate through the maze of infertility. I love that it is written by a pediatrician who has experienced her own reproductive challenges. It is thoughtfully written and very well organized! I HIGHLY recommend this book! It is amazing!

I bought this book for a friend and she was so excited to start using it. They seemed to have thought of everything and I think it is a great guide for women going through infertility treatment and related decisions. My friend was excited for the level of organization it is going to bring to her life and this particular situation!

Burns and Covington's book has been very helpful in my practice. "Seasoned" clinicians as well as practitioners with less experience working with infertile clients will find the information presented valuable.

When managed care makes it impossible to refer a client to someone who specializes in infertility, here is the book that will make you feel confident about your work. And when you don't have time to read a whole book at once, here is the book that allows you to choose the chapters you need when you need them. The impressive array of interdisciplinary experts follow the same format in each chapter, making cross-references for the reader very easy. This book is truly comprehensive, including topics such as "Special Populations" and "Adoption after Infertility", along with the practical guidelines we all want but which are often lost amidst theory and statistics in other books. The appendices and resource section are especially impressive. There are questionnaires, guidelines, consent forms, and a record-keeping form. The resources section has over 20 pages ofdouble-column entries. The authors have organized a stunning amount of information in a way that is useful to clinicians new to infertility issues and to those with experience who want to learn more

I enjoyed this book a great deal. I found it to be very inspirational and informative. You can really feel the emotion in this writer, and can tell it's a very personal issue. We are very lucky to have a story written in a man's perspective. Finally, something other men can relate to.

I'm fortunate to have had long conversations with the author about this book. His passion about the subject showed clearly as he spoke. It's important to hear from the man's perspective. I'm looking forward with great anticipation to the release date.

This book is wonderful and I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with infertility. It was recommended to my husband and I by a couple who has struggled with infertility for 5 years and who are still childless. We have just begun our journey with fertility treatments and this book was so helpful. I refer to it a lot when talking to my family about the struggle of being "infertile". I also really enjoyed the personal stories and journal entries from women and men that are included in the book. This book validated a lot of the emotions I have been having and that was important to me.

Couples who are struggling with infertility already understand the pain, loneliness, grief, and, yes, resentment and bitterness that comes with the experience. Cindy Dake offers hope through the gospel of Christ from a fellow-traveller, and it is a much-needed encouragement to the couples. This book is packed with practical knowledge, but other books can give that information. Its real strength is in relating that knowledge with biblical points. For instance, how does a Christian decide when to stop infertility treatments? What factors should be considered with medical treatment, adoption, or child-free living? Mrs. Dake doesn't make those decisions for you, but she makes sure you are aware of your options and factors that should go into making those decisions. A chapter is spent relating stories of infertility from the Bible, which is a faith builder to those of us feeling like we are alone in this experience. I also appreciate how the book is written to friends and family of the infertile couple, to help them be able to better minister to their loved ones.

I recommend this book to all of my friends dealing with infertilty!

This book helped me tremendously. It addressed issues that most women do not go through after miscarriage being that it speaks to women who have miscarried after infertility. I highly recommend it.

I would strongly recommend this book to anyone dealing with infertility who has suffered a miscarriage. It is concise but thorough, and touches on many important issues. In addition, I'd recommend giving a copy to any relative or friend who wants to understand what you're going through.

Karen Propp, a poet, teacher, and, with the help of infertility treatment, the mother of a young son, set out to write *The Pregnancy Project: Encounteers With Reproductive Technology*, in part to create "a new conception myth," but she's done much more: written a memoir that manages to be simultaneously intimate and discreet, a generous description of her own difficult, and ultimately successful quest to have a child via the miracles and dehumanizing horrors of infertility treatment. Her clarity, honesty, capacity to combine feeling and analysis, as well as her thorough explanations of the technology (these not for the faint of heart) are a gift to people struggling with infertility, and to those who love and care for them. Propp writes, "In years to come, when we tell our children the story of how they got here, the petri dish and the ultrasound will be coequal with the birds and the bees." This beautifully written book will be one of the important sources of that new story.

I found this book very fine and very moving. While in infertility treatment, I chose my reading material carefully. I wanted nothing that would discourage me or make me depressed. The Pregnancy Project helped me get through treatment with its positive spin. I compare it to The Empty Lap and A Little Pregnant. Thank you, Karen.
