What is infertility?

The International Council on Infertility Information Dissemination (INCIID) considers a couple to be infertile if: they have not conceived after a year of unprotected intercourse, or after six months in women over 35; there is incapability to carry a pregnancy to term. Healthy couples in their mid-20s having regular sex have a one-in-four chance of getting pregnant in any given month. This is called "fecundity".

Best I've come across
I don't pretend to have read *all* the infertility books in existence, but I have read a fair cross-section of them. I like this book the best because it has information I haven't seen elsewhere, and answered a lot of my questions. He quotes a lot of studies and statistics, which I like better than people who just make pronouncements and expect you to believe it just because it's in print. He has actionable suggestions that I hadn't come across before, like doing a count of your follicles (using ultrasound) to give you a gauge of how many years of fertility you have left, so you can make more informed decisions about pursuing treatment. Overall, I would recommend this book for people who want to be very well-informed and full participants in their treatment. If you don't really want to know the nitty-gritty (certainly not everyone does), this book is not for you.
Dr.Silber has done it again
The book like it's previous avatar(edition) is an extremely well written book;useful to the lay people and to the practising physician.Dr. Silber in his usual candid and forthright style has called 'a spade a spade' and denounced wasting time on nonexistent conditions,and unproven therapies.
The book would be a valuable source of information to the lay public and the practising physician.
An invaluable tool for all couples trying to get pregnant!
Dr. Silber's book is an invaluable tool for all couples trying to get pregnant. Using clear and easily understandable language, Dr. Silber provides couples with a practical guide to understanding numerous topics including normal reproductive variation, effects of age, and potential treatments or medical procedures.
