USER REVIEWS
"I did not find this book to be helpful & my IVF nurse laughed and told me to get a refund when I showed it to her. "

"This is a perfectly good book, but I found Dr. Silber's "How to Get Pregnant" and Dr. Potter's "What to Do When You Can't Get Pregnant" to be much more informative. Dr. Silber's book is especially good if you are science-oriented and want to understand the chemical aspects of both natural and assisted conception (it has excellent graphs and diagrams). Dr. Marr's book may be better used as a "starter" book when you're first diagnosed with infertility, as it is more of an overview than the other two. Check them out at the library before you buy!!"

"I am a surrogate mother that worked with Dr. Marrs from July of '04 to July of '05. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with him, his staff and his practice. I wanted to take a look back at all of our procedures and get a better understanding of all we went through. I feel privileged to have a copy of his book! "

"After 6 years of trying to start a family we purchased this book. Two years later we managed to conceive, however we lost the baby at 8 weeks. Although we are lost at the moment we will try again.
This book helped us to conceive. It's also helping us with our miscarriage. I have shared this book with others and they have all found it helpful. We have purchased other titles, however non-compare.
It is easy to read and understand. Definitely recommend this to anyone trying to understand their infertility and options."

"If you want one book to do it all, get this one.
At least it provides you with a vision of most of the issues surrounding infertility.
It provides excellent information on female infertility issues.
It provides cursory information about male infertility issues.
We have recommended and loaned out this book to several friends, and they all were happy with the details provided."
