I am glad that I bought the book. It is does a very good job explaining the process and helped a great deal. I am not a medical person and have not yet seen a doctor for this. I was able to determine that I do not ovulate from reading this book. This book has convinced me that I should see a fertility specialist right away, saving be many more months of 'just relax'-type trying. I highly recommend it.

This book does it all. It covers low-tech, high-tech, surrogacy, egg and sperm donation, alternative treatments like acupuncture and even goes into relationship issues, how to find a reputable doctor and practice, and whether or not it's wise to tell your future children that mom and dad needed help. It even covers latest and future technologies, foster parenting, fost-adopt programs, and adoption for those that find that nothing they do works.

We read it cover to cover in 2 days. The best part about is that it's not overwhelming. The authors explain everything in a simple yet compelling language without leaving trails of medical jargon that readers aren't interested in. The book simply describes what causes infertility, what we can do about it, and how to go about it. Plus, the chapter on future technologies is fascinating since none of the other fertility books discuss what's coming in the next few decades.

What's more, this book has helped my husband and I improve our health and that of our family. We didn't realize that being underweight or overweight can contribute to infertility. This book was the wake up call we needed to turn over a new leaf and get in shape. Now our extended family has followed our lead. They're all working out and eating better because of our recent health kick.

Buying this book was one of the best investments we've ever made. Learning about declining egg quality, what has to happen to get pregnant, and what complementary therapies work well with IVF have helped us tremendously. We're scheduled to undergo IVF in two months, I've already spoken with an acupuncturist, and we're getting into the best shapes of our lives. We owe it all to the authors of this book! Thank you!

This book gave my husband the encouragement he needed to get a fertility evaluation. He hates dentists and wasn't about to go to a doctor for something like this. For awhile, I was crushed to say the least.

But then suddenly my luck changed. My husband got curious about this book, picked it up off my desk, and the next thing I knew he told me he wanted to see an RE. I was amazed!

My husband got excited when he learned that nearly all male infertility issues can be bypassed with IVF. We just saw an RE and found out we're good candidates for IVF and are about to take the plunge. We're glad that the authors decided to write this book, and are especially glad that one of the authors is an RE. It's exactly what we needed when we needed it.

I've tried reading several infertility books in the past, and while some seemed promising they were either too technical or too autobiographical. It wasn't until I broke down in tears to a friend that she recommended a new book, What to Do When You Can't Get Pregnant.

I ordered this book and have been thanking her ever since. It's a huge improvement over some of the other books I've read and it really did speak to me and my husband. This was important to us because many of the books were either over our head or coming from a personal perspective that didn't resonate with us. But this wasn't the case with this book. It's comprehensive, encouraging, interesting and taught us things about our body and our condition that we would have never known.

For years, we blamed ourselves and often times each other but this book showed us that our situation isn't our fault. This made a huge difference in how we view ourselves and each other and it helped us get back on the same page. No matter what fertility method you're using the section on communication is priceless.

Another issue this book has helped us deal with is family and friends and how to handle the stress surrounding not being able to conceive. We've been TTC for five years and many times have gotten fed up with the constant concern over our problem.

This book was the first one to let us know that we don't have to tell anyone anything and that what we disclose is entirely up to us. This was a huge relief to us because by limiting the information flow we now get along better with our loved ones.

We're half way into our IVF cycle and are re-reading this book as we complete our round. It's an incredible resource and we're glad we didn't have to do it alone. Thanks a million! We highly recommend it!

I had no idea what I was getting into until I found this book online. The authors organized this book so that it makes going through the IVF process seamless. It gives detailed information on each step, phase, and type of medication and even gives tips on making the injections less painless. My husband and I tried many of these like using numbing cream, ice packs, and massaging the injection sites afterwards and they all REALLY work.

I had my egg retrieval and we just picked "our team" on Friday. I thought so much of this book that my husband brought my wireless laptop to my bedside so I could write this review. Well, really I dictated and he happily did the rest.

We both would have been lost without this book. The hardest part for us facing IVF was finding a guide that would really walk us through the process so we didn't have to guess if we were doing something right or wrong. I felt very confident about the whole thing after finding this book and it helped us get through it all without a hitch.

IVF is a huge step to take and we had many concerns about going through with it. But "What to Do When You Can't Get Pregnant" put all our fear to rest. Speaking of rest, I didn't think I could do the required "baby rest" this book calls for following the egg transfer but after reading all the things I can do like catch up on movies, journal, or play card games (Mille Bornes is my favorite) I decided this down time isn't such a bad deal after all.

Our consensus is this book is very, very helpful. Go for this one!
