In Vitro Fertilization: The A.R.T. Of Making Babies

"I purchased this book to educate myself about the process of IVF... I wanted to get a medical perspective that was balanced... not overly scientific, yet not dumbed down. I was really pleased with the book and would recommend it to anyone who is considering IVF. It described the process from beginning to end, enabled me to be a more educated consumer and provided me with questions that I could ask my RE. I find myself going back to this book as a reference guide... "

"I bought this book shortly before my husband and I made the final decision to go ahead with IVF. We went through IVF at one of the Sher Institutes (in IL) and I found Dr. Sher's book to be very helpful in answering some of questions/worries and even after speaking with the nurses & doctors at the clinic, this book was a great quick reference tool for any questions that I had.

I believe that this book would be helpful for anyone considering and/or going through the IVF process, regardless of what clinic you are having the procedure through.

Although the book doesn't give personal accounts of the IVF process, it does provide very helpful and technical information. I found myself referring to this book more than any of the other IVF books that I purchased."

"I made the mistake of purchasing his older book called The A.R.T. of making babies updated edition. Do not buy unless your doing a research paper. This book was written in 1998 and the information is outdated. Make sure you purchase the 2005 edition. I wish amazon.com would have made this clearer. I did read it anyways and had the book been filled with updated information it could be informative. I found the "Couple's guide to In Vitro Fertilization a much better book. Having recently gone through the procedure it was right on the money and very easy to read and understand."

"My husband and I recently found out that IVF was probably our only hope at having a biological child. We live in an area where IVF is basically non-existent... as is the information that we've received. I wanted to find out everything I could about the IVF process, expenses, etc. This book was an excellent source of information from fertility testing, to the entire IVF process. It also went into depth on new procedures that can be used along with IVF. VERY inforamtive, and I would recommend to anyone craving knowledge about IVF."
